Abstract

This essay had the objective of reflecting on co-emergence and enactive knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine as a comprehensive therapeutic paradigm. The core idea in the development of this product focused on the fact that health knowledge must be understood as an emergent process, the result of the constant interaction between the therapist, the patient and their environment, which allows us to assimilate that the therapeutic process becomes a space for co-creation of human well-being. In this sense, theoretical aspects such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were discussed: philosophical and therapeutic foundations, co-emergence of enactive knowledge and traditional Chinese medicine and the implications of TCM in comprehensive health and prevention, following the journey from a documentary investigation. One of the conclusions highlights the fact that this type of alternative medicine promotes a preventive approach that prioritizes the restoration of energy balance and holistic well-being, integrating practices such as acupuncture and phytotherapy, which allows detecting and addressing imbalances before they become pathologies. The future vision of this scientific production is projected in the requirements of integrating TCM and enactive knowledge in contemporary medical practice. In this way, a holistic approach must be promoted that promotes comprehensive health, disease prevention and patient empowerment in their healing process.
