Chinese Traditional Medicine (CTM) aims to define, globally and synthetically, the universal laws which govern the lives of individuals, through the understanding of the fundamental principles, which allow to proceed to their assessment and organization into a coordinated system. .

CTM seeks the “truth” behind each individual and his world, recognising that human beings are “unique”, in their “diversity”.

In CTM every element is the object of particular interest: structures, activities, functions; every system, the elements, every movement pertaining to human physiology. The specificity of CTM consists in its “dialectic system”, with which it considers everything vital; it is the conquest of a universal method, which can be applied to every phase of the complex dynamic system of each individual.

The dialectic system behind CTM aims at unityand refuses every form of reductionism, in a world of movement, mutation and change in the various relationships.

It is of fundamental importance to focus on the order-disorder and action-reaction of the complex system considered in a “moment” during the flow of life, which proceeds towards the centre, nature’s point of equilibrium, in the cosmos.

The Ta Tchreng, the ancient Chinese text on pulsology based on Chinese Traditional Medicine, as well as the works of Soulié de Morant, in the first half of the 20th century, declare:

By destabilising the equilibrium in the circulation of energy, aftercontrolling it through an examination of the pulses, the healing of all illnesses is guaranteed .

One logically asks by what mysterious path has pulsology, after CTM, survived over the centuries, continuing to this day to represent an admirable reality in diagnostic medicine.The answer is: because through the examination of “energetic circulation” (EC) at the pulses one reaches a complete knowledge of any living being in its relationship to universal laws, of which every individual, in our planet, is but a specimen, albeit a unique one, each with their own dynamic complexities.

Masters of Chinese medicine successfully applied their art to the treatment of illnesses which revealed obscure symptoms, without etiquettes, even presenting rather complex diagnoses. Whether having to do with allergies, rheumatism, diseases of the autoimmune system, or functional, metabolic, psychic alterations, through the examination of the circulation of energy at the pulse, they were able to obtain diagnostic clarity and therapeutic success.

It was written in the Shang gong:

The Superior Therapist cures when there is no illness”, a truly able doctor “treats illnesses when there is no sign of them; in this manner illnesses do not manifest themselves.

The Nei Tching, a fundamental Chinese medical text, repeatedly asserts:

To heal it is not necessary to focus on the illness: it is necessary to re-equilibrate the pulses, so as to return them to their normal condition. The moment the pulses reach their normal equilibrium, illnesses disappear.

Soulié de Morant once said:

By re-equilibrating the pulses, every illness can be healed.

Soulié de Morant also stated:

Without dwelling on symptoms and still more symptoms, it is sufficient to proceed with a well conducted examination of the pulses and to work on the points which correct the energetic imbalance thus revealed, until the pulses are once again harmonized; in this way diagnosis and healing are obtained.

An alteration in the energetic dynamics of the individual provokes functional disorders or organic lesions. Over half of all illnesses are functional, the consequence of alterations in one of the numerous mechanisms of the nervous system. These changes can be observed in the “particular changes” found in the pulse before, during and after any disorder, or so-called illness, takes place.

The examination of the dynamics of the energetic circulation at the pulses, based on the rules of CTM, is a diagnostic and prognostic tool, through which are obtained important information on the psycho-physical conditions of the individual: past, present, future.

This is made possible by to the fact that through the examination of the energetic circulation at the pulses one observes the complex dynamic system of every living being, as presented in the following universal formula:

The Living Being represents a linear and chaotic complex dynamic system, which functions within the parameters of space and time.

The above is a scientific, up to date, lay formula: which offers support to what is asserted in the Ta Tchreng and sustained by Soulié de Morant.
