“What makes Chinese medicine distinct, even more than its needles and herbs, is its metaphysics (assumptions about reality), epistemology (ways of acquiring knowledge), and ideology (system of beliefs and values), all of which find their expression in the Daoist imperatives of preserving life and living in accord with nature.” – Between Heaven & Earth
