Aging as traditional Chinese medicine
Abstract
Human aging is a continuous, progressive and complex process that can be considered from different points of view. Once completed the stage of growth, development and reproduction (target species) began a phase of progressive deterioration of organ function with decreased ability to adapt to changes. No theory fully explains the cause of aging, which is considered a multifactorial process, for which we must take into account both the views of allopathic medicine as the ancient Chinese traditional medicine.
