What are the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese medicine and Western medicine?

1, the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese medicine

Advantages: The Chinese medicine diagnosis belongs to the disease through the appearance of the disease to explore the real cause of the disease and then treatment, that is, we say the treatment of the disease to go to the root of the treatment of chronic diseases in the treatment of a very good rate of cure. According to the different causes of disease, to take a variety of means of treatment, many diseases can be internal and external treatment, reduce the use of drugs on the human body damage.

Chinese medicine is basically based on natural plants in nature, and the human body rarely produces drug resistance. In the thousands of years of history, summed up the use of drugs "five fear eighteen anti-" taboos, reasonable drug matching, greatly reducing the drug on the human body, liver and kidney organs of the toxic side effects. Acupuncture and other diagnosis and treatment means relying on the meridian theory, less pain, good results, foreign countries have begun to study.

Disadvantages: The theoretical system of Chinese medicine is too esoteric, and the doctrines of yin and yang and the five elements have become metaphysics in the eyes of those who believe in Western science, making it difficult to promote Chinese medicine. It is difficult to cultivate excellent Chinese medicine practitioners in a short period of time, and the requirements for personal enlightenment and talent are extremely high, so only a few people can become highly skilled medical practitioners.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of western medical science

Advantages: High degree of popularization, supported by a large amount of experimental data and medical data, the doctor training cycle is short, and a large number of medical personnel can be trained in a relatively short period of time. Medical equipment upgrades quickly, advanced medical equipment can quickly find the cause of the disease, there are a large number of auxiliary medical equipment.

Surgical techniques are becoming more and more advanced, and for emergency patients, they can be quickly rescued to improve the survival rate of critically ill patients. Under today's system of big data, it is possible to *** enjoy the experience of diagnosis and treatment from all over the world, increasing the cure rate of patients. Advanced anatomy to better enable people to understand the structure of the body.

Disadvantages: Some medical instruments are not suitable for frequent use, otherwise there is a risk of cancer, such as X-ray fluoroscopy. Chemically synthesized drugs need to be constantly upgraded, or else the prolonged use of a drug will be ineffective in the case of the human immune system and bacterial viruses, etc., which produce drug resistance.

Most drugs are not suitable for long-term use and have too many toxic side effects on the human body, including the liver and kidneys. Abuse of drugs is obvious, many hospital doctors to see the patient, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics.

Extended information:

The coexistence of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is probably a unique feature of China's medical system. Medicine is supposed to be a science for the benefit of mankind. When a patient is sick, he or she has to see a doctor, and everyone has his or her own ideas about the choice of doctor. Some people believe in Western medicine, others believe in Chinese medicine.

But in recent years, society has gradually emerged some different voices, a small number of people have become a "Chinese medicine black", everywhere for others to "popularize" Chinese medicine is pseudo-science, and even proposed to abolish the Chinese medicine. There is a Chinese medicine black, there is a Western medicine black, there are also people to speak out, denounced the Western medical treatment does not go to the root of the disease, will only ask for money, and even extreme patients to the hospital to kill the doctor's things have been in the press.

I personally believe that no matter which side, perhaps are experiencing some painful things in life, thus leading to them in the face of the two different kinds of medicine, the emergence of different voices, but this is mixed with personal feelings of the voice, will inevitably produce a biased point of view, will be part of the masses to produce misleading. Therefore, it is important to look at the two kinds of medicine rationally,
