How does Chinese Medicine look at illness?

Chinese Medicine relates illnesses and their respective symptoms with the energetic states of 12 organ systems. These organ systems command the functioning of the entire body. Any excess, deficiency, or specific condition within the balance of these organ systems will result in some systematic and symptomatic manifestation. When these imbalances continue to exist over longer periods of time, illness grows in one way or another.
