Answer to Question 1

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): ancient health belief that health is the balance of yin and yang, two complementary forces in the universe. Yin and yang are the two complementary forces in the universe (Kaptuchuk, 2000). Yin and yang are often translated into hot and cold, referring to qualities and not temperatures. To be healthy, what you eat and drink and the way you live your life should have equal amounts of hot qualities and cold qualities. Ayurveda: Knowledge of Life,an ancient system of medicine focuses on the body, the sense organs, the mind and the soul. Three main biological units, enzymes, tissues, and excretary functions, are in harmonious condition and when the mind and sense are cheerful(Chopra & Doiphode, 2002; Kash, Junius, & Dash, 1997). Balancing hot and cold is another critical element.Compare: both ancient medicines, both are about balancing hot and cold elements, both are about the notion of basic elements.Contrast: TCM is about balance of yin and yang, and is ancient Chinese medicine. Ayurveda is about balance of mind, body and soul, and is ancient East Indian medicine.
