Eastern Psychology Eastern medical traditions such as traditional chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine have long held that the mind directly affect the body and that therapy for any mental or emotional imbalance improves the treatment outcome for many physical diseases.

China is now a world leader in integrating meditation exercises into modern clinical settings. Meditation is one of the primary tools used in Eastern traditions to correct imbalances of the mind.

Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research

SUMMARY The foundation for diagnosis in traditional chinese medicine is the eight principles. These are yin and yang, hot and cold, replete and vacuous, and internal and external. The eight principles, along with the concepts of qi, blood, phlegm, toxins, and the twelve channels and twelve organs constitute the core of TCM theory. In TCM, diseases are viewed in terms of symptom patterns, which relate a constellation of symptoms with the terms and concepts of TCM theory. A select number of symptom patterns may be common in patients with cancer.
The term traditional chinese medicine (TCM) actually refers to a rather recent evolutionary stage. The Communist Chinese government made a decision in the 1940s to promote China's native medicine rather than replace it entirely with Western conventional medicine. Before this time, the knowledge to practice Chinese medicine passed from generation to generation informally by family lineage, rather than through formal instruction at universities. Each lineage stressed different aspects, causing differences to exist between lineages.
To some degree, parts of this approach have been used in traditional chinese medicine, where one of the traditional herbal strategies for treating cancer is "invigo-ration" of the blood circulation using fibrinolytic and other agents. However, the effects of this traditional strategy on angiogenesis has not been determined. Obviously, the degree to which fibrinolysis can be stimulated may be limited. Patients with cancer often are recovering from surgeries or have tumors that bleed. Excessive fibrinolysis in these patients could be catastrophic.
