What is the fundamental difference between Chinese and western medicine? Are there really good and bad points?

Birth, illness, death and illness are very common things for people. No matter who gets sick, China's medical career is booming, new vitality is constantly being generated, and countless lives can continue healthily. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the precipitation of the practice and experience of the ancient laborers in China, and this wisdom crystal has been constantly glowing with new vitality with the pace of time. Western medicine is also a magic weapon for countless doctors and nurses to rejuvenate. Chinese and western medicine have nothing in common, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, except for the same purpose of saving lives and treating diseases.

First, the fundamental difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine is that the theory of medical practice is different from everyone. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the holistic view, that is, the internal and external environment is regarded as a whole. In the process of medical treatment, we should not only pay attention to drug treatment, but also pay attention to the influence of environment on human body. Chinese medicine will adjust the treatment plan according to the different seasons and soil and water environment. However, the medical practice theory of western medicine is very different from that of Chinese medicine. Western medicine pays more attention to the disease itself, treats patients according to their clinical manifestations, and pursues accuracy and quickness.

Second, although Chinese and western medicine are completely different, the unique Chinese medicine has a long course of treatment and slow effect. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on medicinal materials and decocted according to symptoms. The bitter taste of Chinese medicine is hard to swallow, but many diseases can be cured by drinking Chinese medicine for a long time. Although Chinese medicine is bitter and slow to take effect, its curative effect should not be underestimated. Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine often has a shorter course of treatment and faster curative effect. According to people's different needs, we continue to develop drugs that are more convenient to take and swallow, making them shine in the process of disease treatment, but western medicine often has more side effects. Many western medicines are even toxic and harmful to the body if taken for a long time.

There is no difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine. They are all the fruits of human labor and wisdom. Nowadays, the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine has become a common practice. There is no need to argue about who is better. We should continue to develop Chinese and Western medicine, treat more patients' diseases and promote more people's health.
