Krakow and TCM
Krakow is particularly associated with Chinese medicine in Poland. In 1641 Michał Piotr Boym – a graduate of the Jagiellonian University and Jesuit, went for a mission to China. He studied Chinese medicine on the imperial court of Yongli – the last emperor of the Ming dynasty. Yongli made him a deputy to the pope. He was the first European, who had moved knowledge of Chinese medicine to Europe. He was also the one, who published the first works on the subject. One of the first ten dissertations on Chinese medicine in Europe had been defended in Krakow in 1830 at the Jagiellonian University. Józef Domaszewski dedicated it to acupuncture. The very first TCM teaching in Poland started in 1986 in Krakow. It successfully continues until now in the Institute of Chinese Medicine and Health Prophylaxis. Moreover, Polish Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine was founded here. Finally, Krakow has the largest Chinese Medicine Centre in Poland, which employs 19 specialists offering full scope of TCM methods.
