Depicts the journey of Chinese medicine using the ancient Ming dynasty altar in Beijing as the setting. The series of clips explore the role in the Emperors played in the ancient ceremonies, how these traditions relate to Daoism and form the heart of Chinese culture and Chinese medicine philosophy.

Daoist philosophers were the physicists of the ancient world researching the operations powering the universe, Yin and Yang (the female and male principles) and Dao (the way of nature) and Qi (life force) to name a few as the building blocks of this cosmic view.

Alex’s walk through the philosophical underpinnings of ancient Chinese thought, not only relates to medicine but also your health, life purpose, self-responsibility and destiny.
