Dia do Respeito aos Idosos
Dia do Respeito aos Idosos
No Brasil é comemorado o Dia do Idoso hoje, primeiro de outubro.
O costume de lembrar dos
ancestrais e refletir sobre as próprias raízes é transmitida há milhares de
anos na China. Lá o dia 9 de setembro é o Dia do Idoso, onde a tradição
combina com a modernidade; este é um festival de respeito, homenagem, amor e
ajuda aos idosos.
O costume de festejar e rezar pela longevidade tem um dia especial: dia nove do nono mês (calendário chinês), Festival do Duplo Nono, "Ta Qiu", um dos festivais tradicionais chineses de culto aos ancestrais.
Nos tempos modernos, 09/09 recebeu um novo significado: Dia do Respeito aos Idosos.
O ideograma chinês nove é um homófono para “longo”, “duradouro”. Assim, carrega a ideia da longevidade, eternidade.
Um dos protótipos do
Festival do Duplo Nono é o antigo ritual de celebração ao Grande Fogo (Antares),
a estrela que simboliza as estações, que recua para noroeste, junto com as
várias estrelas em frente à constelação de Canglon; um marcador para a produção
sazonal e a vida cotidiana> a dormência do Grande Fogo sinalizava a chegada
de um longo inverno.
O nono mês é o mês Xu, o
depósito do fogo está localizado a noroeste; é quando o fogo entra no depósito.
Antigamente, em Yunnan e
outras regiões, o costume de celebrar as estrelas por nove dias consecutivos, do
primeiro ao nono dia do nono mês lunar, era popular. Esse costume era chamado
de Reunião dos Nove Imperadores, e originou-se do culto às estrelas.
Duplo Nono Festival,
Encontro dos Nove Imperadores, a “Ursa Maior prolonga a vida". Do primeiro
ao nono dia do nono mês lunar, a Ursa Maior está em plena floração.
Os Nove Imperadores da
Ursa Maior são compostos pela Ursa Maior, Zuo Fu e You Bi.
No também chamado de Festival do Dogwood o povo planta dogwood (Shan Zu Yu), escala Montanhas, solta pipas, toma chá e vinho de crisântemo (Ju Hua) e come bolo Chong Yang.
Escalar montanhas em grupo é outro costume importante com o significado de buscar boa sorte, evitar o azar e desastres. "O yang atinge seu pico no nono dia do nono mês lunar", então deve-se escalar montanhas para orar por bênçãos. “Ar puro subindo e ar turvo descendo”.
Subir a lugares altos e
olhar ao longe traz paz de espírito.
No Brasil, há um longo caminho a ser percorrido...

OMS Apoia a Integração da Medicina Tradicional
A Organização Mundial da Saúde lançará a Cúpula Global da OMS sobre Medicina Tradicional em Nova Déli, Índia, o repositório digital de conhecimento mais abrangente do mundo sobre medicina tradicional, complementar e integrativa: a Biblioteca Global de Medicina Tradicional (TMGL).
A medicina integrativa, segundo a OMS, é uma abordagem interdisciplinar e baseada em evidências para a saúde e o bem-estar, que utiliza uma combinação de conhecimentos, habilidades e práticas biomédicas e médicas tradicionais e/ou complementares.
Medicina integrativa não significa a apropriação das Medicinas Tradicionais e Complementares pela medicina ocidental moderna e seus praticantes.
A medicina tradicional tem sido frequentemente sub-representada em discussões científicas e políticas e a TMGL, ao coletar, preservar e compartilhar diversas fontes de informação sobre medicina tradicional, complementar e integrativa de diferentes bases de conhecimento em escala global e garantir acesso equitativo, visa apoiar os processos de aprendizagem e tomada de decisão.
A coleção de Mapas de Evidências da TMGL, "Intervenções para Condições Clínicas e de Saúde", incluirá terapias mente-corpo.

The new WHO Global Strategy for Traditional Medicine has four main objectives: to strengthen the evidence base for Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (TCIM); to support safe and effective TCIM through appropriate regulatory mechanisms; to integrate safe and effective TCIM into health systems and optimize the intersectoral value of TCIM; and to empower communities.
The Summit aims to deeply address biodiversity protection, intellectual property rights, and the potential of Artificial Intelligence in TCIM.

In a time of instability, how can we restore balance?
The theme of the 2nd Global Summit on Traditional Medicine is "Restoring Balance: The Science and Practice of Health and Well-Being."
Balance can be found in practices that honor traditional knowledge systems, offer unique perspectives on health and well-being, and combine ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science.

WHO Traditional Medicine Global Library
WHO supporting traditional medicine integration
Integrative medicine, according to the WHO, is an interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach to health and well-being that utilizes a combination of biomedical and traditional and/or complementary medical knowledge, skills, and practices.
Integrative medicine does not mean the appropriation of Traditional and Complementary Medicines by modern Western medicine and its practitioners.
The World Health Organization will launch WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine in New Delhi, India, the world’s most comprehensive digital knowledge repository for traditional, complementary and integrative medicine: The Traditional Medicine Global Library (TMGL).
Traditional medicine has often been underrepresented in scientific and policy discussions.
The TMGL collecting, preserving and sharing diverse sources of information on traditional, complementary and integrative medicine from different knowledge bases on a global scale, and ensuring equitable access, it aims to support learning and decision-making processes.
TMGL's Evidence Maps collection, "Interventions for Clinical and Health Conditions," will include mind-body therapies.

Arctium lappa x Korona
Arctium lappa L. (Asteraceae): uma terapêutica promissora contra a Covid-19
"As repercussões de impacto global advindas da Covid-19, têm culminado em uma busca incessante, pelas comunidades científica e médica, por tratamento que seja eficaz e seguro na fase inicial da infecção, ao promover a neutralização do vírus ou impedir a sua evolução para formas graves da doença. Devido à dificuldade no estabelecimento de uma terapêutica validada e sabendo que a busca, na natureza, por substâncias medicinais para o tratamento de inúmeras doenças tem um histórico milenar, o A. lappa apresenta-se como uma alternativa promissora, uma vez que demonstra, a partir das suas propriedades (antiviral, antioxidante, imunomoduladora e anti-inflamatória) em consonância com a fisiopatologia do SARS-CoV-2, mecanismos favoráveis de controle do vírus e atenuação da doença."

WHO and Tradition Medicine
Opinion
The world health organization for more than fifty years has been dedicating itself to the questions of Traditional Medicine and defines Traditional Medicine as the “sum total of the knowledge, skill, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness” [1].
According to Dr. Anton & Suriya [2], the greatest revolution in international health policy was born in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, in the Soviet Union under the slogan “Health for All Not Year 2000”. Preceded by a series of meetings which having as theme the PHC, primary health care, in Alma-Ata, in 1962, there was an WHO International Health Conference. As a consequence of this meeting, the Institute of Alternative Medicine was created and one declaration was elaborated with a focus on PHC, according to Dr. Jayasuriya [2]. There was a second conference in Alma-Ata in 1978, centered on the same theme. According to Alma-Ata Declaration [3], PHC “relies, at local and referral levels, on health workers, including physicians, nurses, midwives, auxiliaries and community workers as applicable, as well as traditional practitioners as needed, suitably trained socially and technically to work as a health team”. PHC is a “people-centred, holistic approach to health that makes prevention as important as cure”, according to WHO former Director-General Dr. Margaret [4].

Artistic Expression of Beauty and Balance and the Binary System
WCCA2020 – XIII World Congress on Communication and Arts
Abstract. It is difficult to imagine modern life without the binary system, but really difficult is to imagine the binary language for thousands of years being used to interpret and represent the Universe.
As everything can be seen and expressed in these terms, this concept applied to the arts generated beautiful works that explored the balance between chiaroscuro, full and empty, solid and liquid, surface and depth.
There are ancient graphic representations of duality such as Heaven (spherical) and Earth (square), nature (wind and thunder, lake and mountain); climate (dryness and humidity, heat and cold) organism (hands, belly, ear, head), animals (horses, cows, sheep, pigs), symbols (mandalas, Pythagorean magic squares 3x3, 4x4, 9x9), families (parents and descent), mathematics, body movements (trimming, deflecting, pressing, pulling), cardinal points, images of peace, progress, darkness and return, among many other things.
This is part of the timeless knowledge of the I Ching, the Book of Changes.

Herbal medicine for coronavirus
Chinese herbal medicine for coronavirus disease 2019: A systematic review and meta-analysis
"In China, the pandemic is under control due to government strong measure, public surveillance, and utilization of both CWM and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM, especially Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), has been used extensively in the treatment of several acute epidemic infectious diseases including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), influenza A H1N1, avian influenza, malaria, etc [2,3]. According to the research reports of World Health Organization, compared to CWM group, TCM group has achieved remarkable therapeutic effect with 3 days for average fever reduction time, 10 days for average hospital stay, low medical costs, and no death, sequelae, transfer, and infection of nurses and doctors during the SARS epidemic in 2003 [4]. Among the 564 patients with COVID-19 admitted to Jiangxia Fangcang TCM Hospital, 482 were cured, and the rest 82 complicated with basic diseases were transferred to designated hospitals. During the treatment, no patients turned from mild to critical cases, and no nurses and doctors were infected by COVID-19. TCM has played an indispensable role and TCM therapeutic schedule was included in the guideline on diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 [5]."
"In general, this systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that CHM maybe beneficial for the treatment of COVID-19 in improving clinical symptoms, imaging, and laboratory indicators, shortening the course of disease, and reducing the number of severe cases. However, considering the shortcomings of original trials, further rigorously designed trials following CONSORT Statement [45] and CONSORT extension for herbal medicine [46] are warranted to confirm the conclusions. CHM, especially classical Chinese herbal formulas, could be used as potential candidates for COVID-19 in this battle."
