ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dong Feng (physician)

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a Dong Feng physician is!

Have you ever been to the doctor when you were sick or hurt? Well, in some parts of the world, like in China, there are different types of doctors.

A Dong Feng physician is a type of traditional Chinese doctor who uses a special kind of medical treatment. They believe that our bodies have energy, called Qi (pronounced chee), that flows through us, and when it gets stuck or blocked, we can get sick or hurt.

So, Dong Feng physicians use things like acupuncture (which is putting tiny needles in the skin to help unblock the Qi) and herbal medicines to help the energy flow better and make us feel better.

They also look at things like our pulse, tongue, and overall well-being to figure out what is wrong with us and how to make us better.

So, next time you visit the doctor or hear about Dong Feng physicians, you'll know a little bit more about how they work to help people stay healthy and feel better!
