Chinese medicine teaches that health arises from the harmony between people and nature. In texts thousands of years old, the wisdom of balancing rest and activity, eating with the seasons, exercising and maintaining emotional harmony was laid out, while herbs and acupuncture were used to correct imbalances that arose from the stressors of modern life. Modern life has come a long way since then, and humans are ever more out of balance with nature. The twin crises of coronavirus and climate change are transforming the way we live and adding to our collective eco-angst and concern over our own health.
My vision of sustainable medicine is an approach to healing that sees human health in the context of planetary health.
You might call it a bio-psycho-social-eco model of health.
