Abstract

When I started my studies in traditional Chinese medicine in Brazil in 1997, I started first with studies in acupuncture and then went deeper into other techniques of Chinese medicine such as Chinese herbal therapy and Chinese diet therapy. [1] These teachings of Chinese medicine fascinated me because everything is integrated, and they also considered the influences of the external pathogenic factors (that includes Wind, Cold, Heat, Humidity, and Dryness) contrary to Western medicine, where you can see that everything is separated by specialties and nothing is integrated like in Chinese medicine [2, 3].
