Evoking Asian medicine invites us to delve into a field that involves care, in the practical sense of the term, but also traditions whose foundations are anchored in the twists and turns of time, at the crossroads of history and myth. Whether we consider Indian medicine, Chinese medicine, or the medical tradition of the Himalayan world, all are characterized by a primarily preventative approach and comprehensive patient care, with the aim of maintaining the balance of energy flows that run through the body.
Through more than two hundred works, doctors, academics, art historians and practitioners invite us to discover these three great medical traditions where meditation and shamanism, energy practices and pharmacopoeias, massage and acupuncture, astrology and exorcism coexist.
