Depression And The Oriental Health
According to the Oriental medicine, depression is related to liver 'qi' (internal life energy). Unlike Western medicine, the Oriental approach emphasizes the physical rather than the psychological aspects of the disease. The Oriental health uses diet, exercise, and acupuncture to treat the causes of depression, while the Western medicine uses psychology and medications to treat the symptoms.
