The basic principles of rational application of Chinese medicine include the following contents:

Treatment based on syndrome differentiation: Chinese medicine does not simply prescribe the same medicine to all patients with the same disease, but treats them according to individual illness conditions and individual differences.

Treating the same disease with the same effect: According to the experience proved by clinical practice, some herbs can replace other herbs in the treatment of some diseases. That is to say, at a proper dosage, herbs with the same efficacy can be exchanged, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect of "the same treatment and the same effect".

Emphasize the concept of wholeness: Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that the human body is a whole, and there are close relations and mutual influences between each organ. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to the lesion site, but also consider the diagnosis and formulate the treatment plan from the overall point of view, such as compatibility of drugs and treatment methods.

Pay attention to the safe use of drugs: Traditional Chinese medicine is natural in origin, but it may also produce toxic and side effects. Rational drug use requires the selection of Chinese herbal medicines with high quality, legitimate sources and compliant prescriptions, and the reasonable dosage and time are followed. It is strictly forbidden to waste or abuse drugs.

Emphasis on prevention: Chinese medicine emphasizes the prevention of diseases and pays attention to the health care and conditioning of daily life. Therefore, in addition to medication, it is emphasized that individuals should pay attention to all-round health care such as exercise, diet and nutrition, and ease of mind to avoid recurrent diseases.
