What Is Disease?!

What's The Point?!

🦠 In this episode, Ben and Gabriella explore the question "What is Disease?!" They begin by discussing the definition of health, emphasising the multidimensional nature of well-being according to the World Health Organisation. The hosts delve into the concept of spirit, acknowledging its subjective and divisive nature.
The conversation then shifts to the definition of disease, examining how it goes beyond physical symptoms and includes a state of "dis-ease" involving mind and spirit. The hosts compare the perspectives of allopathic medicine and Five Element Acupuncture in viewing and treating disease, with the latter focusing on the underlying imbalance within a person rather than just presenting symptoms.
In the second part of the episode, Ben and Gabriella discuss the differences in how diseases are treated in Western and Eastern medicine. They highlight the holistic approach of Eastern medicine, particularly Five Element Acupuncture, which aims to stimulate the body's natural healing processes without external interventions like medication or surgery. The hosts touch on the limitations and advantages of both approaches.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of shamans in medical practices and a personal story that led Gabriella to choose Five Element Acupuncture as her preferred form of medicine. They emphasise the importance of recognising the mind, body, and spirit connection in health and present Five Element Acupuncture as a holistic and efficient approach to addressing underlying imbalances.
