Chinese medicine

Each therapeutic approach in Chinese medicine based on the concept of Qi, the life energy menu. For them, everything that happens in the body, every physiological function, but also any pathological process reflects Chi activity.

What is the account Qi Western scientific perspective real challenge. As is the case with Descartes, thinking has since moved 17 century, the only way to describe what appears to our senses, or extensions of our senses are our modern methods of investigation (microscopy, voltmeter, scanners, etc..). Is real, what is actually exists: it does not matter. However, Qi eludes scientific investigation: Qi, it does not weigh yourself, it can not be measured. Therefore, from the viewpoint of vueLe Qi - Christophe Labignescientifique, it does not exist! Does this mean that this concept and put it on the radius of the old beliefs without benefit?

And often translated the concept of Qi as "energy", because this term

Returns in mind the conditions and immaterial activity. Thus, the bridge was established Semantic naturally in our minds between Qi and energy. But energy of modern physics is something measurable. And "is" to do so. Equating these concepts, many modern minds are still trying to "prove" the existence of Qi. Of course, no one could even now in order to lay the foundations for "scientific proof" of the existence of Qi. And for good reason! Chi is the concept of vitalist. The concept that is outside the scope of measurable. Mathematically can be interpreted Qi will be more or less to the equation in the end that life itself!
