[VIDEO: Talking Neijing] The idea of 通 Tōng: Suffering is relieved through understanding and communication
The term 通 tōng has been largely ignored in western explorations of Chinese medicine. Yet when one begins to delve into Neijing studies and look at the text directly we are immediately struck by the importance of this concept, not only in clinical medicine but for the entire world view of the people who wrote the Huangdi Neijing.
Here in this video, we have a nice example of how a fuller understanding of a term begins to open a whole new perspective on how we can relate to the foundations of Chinese medicine and traditional physical culture.
