What is the principle of TCM treatment?

The overall characteristics of medical principles are the overall concept and syndrome differentiation.

Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the overall concept and believes that the human body is closely related to the natural environment. Changes in the natural environment, climate change and geographical conditions all have an important impact on the human body.

However, the bones, muscles, flesh and blood, and internal organs of the human body are interrelated through meridians to form a whole. A "local" lesion is related to the whole. Therefore, we can't treat the headache and the foot.

Syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is based on traditional classics, with the theory of Yin-Yang and Qi-Blood as the thinking, and uses four diagnosis and eight classes to distinguish the cause, disease nature, disease location and pathogenesis. Then legislate, prescribe and use drugs accordingly.
