What are the shortcomings of Chinese medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) began to sprout and develop from Shennong, which has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. It is conceivable that in the past dynasties, our ancients and ancestors all relied on doctors to treat diseases. Considering the low medical conditions and health level at that time, many people in ancient times had a high mortality rate. It is under such conditions that Chinese medicine has developed step by step and formed a huge Chinese medicine system.

Western medicine pays attention to the treatment from medicine to disease. The ingredients of western medicine are exact, and they are generally single ingredients. In addition, doctors often give drugs to treat diseases according to the results of patients' tests and examinations. Whether from the treatment theory or from the effect, western medicine is indeed more obvious and faster than Chinese medicine. In particular, some sudden diseases and acute diseases are treated by western medicine.

At this point, western medicine seems omnipotent, but Chinese medicine seems insignificant. However, this is not the case. Chinese medicine has not declined. In recent years, China has paid more and more attention to the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is a unique feature of China, and its development will only get better and better.

Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, listening and asking questions. These four words seem simple, but they are hard to be perfect. Ancient doctors knew whether the other person was happy or not by taking a pulse. It can be seen that it is difficult to learn Chinese medicine well. Now, in order to seek benefits, some pseudo-Chinese medicine practitioners have not studied Chinese medicine for a few years, and they are swindling and cheating under the signboard of imperial doctors, making Chinese medicine so unreliable to the public.

Facts show that Chinese medicine has a scientific theory and system of Chinese medicine, and countless patients have been cured by Chinese medicine, especially some intractable diseases, and the cure rate of Chinese medicine is even higher than that of western medicine.
