Thought about the Mystery of three-year hiccup ordeal solved
Our Biological selves are connected to everything. In an Oriental medicine perspective, our body is an all connected organism and cannot consider our body and the symptoms the body is showing as a separate thing. Therefore, in an Oriental medicine point of view, the brain tumor, and the hiccups in the article The Mystery of three-year hiccup ordeal solved cannot be treated separately. Moreover, treatments have to benefit the whole body not only the symptom in order to be a right treatment. A treatment that ignores the fact that our biological self is an organism cannot be considered as a proper treatment. A treatment that stops the symptom but damages the whole body is not considered as a proper treatment. Simple as it sounds, many treatments and drugs and surgeries often ignore the fact that our body is a organism and whatever is done to a part of the body or to a symptom the body is showing, the whole body is effected. Actually a vast majority of the treatments neglect that our biological selves are an organism and mainly focuses on treating just the symptom itself. In Eastern medicine our biological selves are al l connected. All of the organs in our body is connected and interacts with each other. All of the symptoms our body manifests are connected to our body. Our body interacts and are affected and are connected with the thoughts that go through our mind. In other words, our body and mind are also connected. How stress can damage our health could be a great example for that. Our body is not only connected internally but also connected externally. That is, our body is connected with what is going on outside our body and with the whole earth and universe. How pollution can be so bad for our health would be a good example for this. In traditional Eastern medicine health is achieved through harmony with what is connected to the body, everything, the earth, the everyday life the person is going through, the relationship the person is sharing. To put it in other words, those would be out physical, environmental, social health. Eastern medicine lies on the basis of the concept that health is achieved by having all these health and if the person lives in harmony and is healthy, the body doesn't have symptoms that bothers the person.
