What's the difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine?

Chinese medicine is a traditional medicine with a history of thousands of years. The theory and practical experience of TCM have been developed through thousands of years of clinical practice and exploration. Western medicine has only a history of several hundred years, and its development is not mature enough. The toxic and side effects of western medicine are great and sometimes obscure. The toxic and side effects of western medicine are often irreversible adverse reactions. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is a serious imbalance between yin and yang in patients.

2. TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment is a unique highlight of TCM. Western medicine only treats one-on-one, and there is no integrity in treating any discomfort.

Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own characteristics in clinic. For example, Chinese medicine in orthopedics, gynecology, dermatology, and the treatment of chronic diseases are beyond the reach of western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is far inferior to western medicine in anatomy, obstetrics and first aid.

4 Chinese medicine and western medicine have different theories. The theory of western medicine is developed on the basis of modern science. This theory is very concrete and realistic. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the external manifestations of the human body and is obtained without dissection. Therefore, Chinese medicine can only use essence, qi, blood and body fluid to describe the subtle structure inside the human body, and even use some illusory words such as soul and spirit. But this does not mean that Chinese medicine is unscientific. On the contrary, Chinese medicine is scientific. It is so unique that it can't be explained by science at present. Now science is nothing more than supporting western medicine. It should be clear to everyone why people at that time could not understand Einstein's paper, because it was too abstruse.

5 Chinese medicine and western medicine use drugs differently. Western medicine forbids the use of poison, and Chinese medicine can fight poison with poison. This shows the limitations of western medicine.

The difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine can't be explained for a lifetime.
