Why do more and more people don't believe in TCM?

I don't know why so many people don't believe in Chinese medicine, and many people are rejected from the heart.

According to common sense, Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years and is a part of traditional culture. It has long been integrated with this nation. How can you deny it easily?

Believe it or not, if it hurts or itches, you have to try. If you don't try, you have no right to speak!

However, some people are unwilling to try, and simply deny that Chinese medicine is deceptive, such as metaphysics.

Metaphysics, that is to say, treating Chinese medicine according to the standards of western medicine. Meridian, yin and yang, qi and blood, where is deficiency and excess? They are invisible to the naked eye and can't be detected by instruments.

Western medicine can dissect the human body intuitively, and we can get some convincing things with modern scientific tests.

Chinese medicine can't give people these things like western medicine.

This gives some people reasons to deny Chinese medicine, calling it metaphysics and cheating.

Why should Chinese medicine be measured by the standards of western medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are two different sciences and two different ways of thinking about the human body.

As long as it can relieve people's pain, what can be compared?

If we look at western medicine by the standard of Chinese medicine, there are limitations!

Western medicine only pays attention to parts that are difficult to treat, and there is no holistic view. As people often say, treating the head and feet is a headache.

Traditional Chinese medicine regards the human body as a whole and seeks the source of treatment. The cause of headache is not treated at the beginning, but may be caused by wind, cold and dampness blocking meridians. After using various methods of traditional Chinese medicine, such as massage and acupuncture to dredge meridians, the general principle of painless problem is solved.

According to Chinese medicine, a good Chinese doctor can take care of his body by looking, smelling, asking and cutting at the early stage of illness, saving patients the cost of various instruments and operations. If everyone goes to see a doctor in this way, the interests of western medicine will be affected. This may be one of the reasons why some people try their best to suppress Chinese medicine!

However, Chinese medicine also has many problems. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors are mixed, and there are too many quacks; In the production and processing of traditional Chinese medicine, due to various reasons, it has lost its rigor, which makes people question traditional Chinese medicine more.

Two different sciences are all moving towards the same goal. They should seek common ground while reserving differences, develop separately and bring more benefits to mankind. Not one or the other, I am the only one.

Western medicine uses advanced science and technology to explore the mystery of human body, and at the same time, it is also relieving human suffering.

The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be explained by modern science. Perhaps, on the other hand, it shows that Chinese medicine has surpassed modern science in the level of human consciousness. With the unexplained wisdom of modern science, people's various physical pains thousands of years ago have been relieved, and the principle may need further study and discussion by modern science.
