Chinese medicine is different with West medicine

How Western and Chinese Medicine(TCM) DifferBecause Chinese medicine(TCM) views people as ecosystems in miniature, it seeks to improve our capacity to balance and renew our resources. Chinese medicine(TCM) can minimize the erosion of our soil by enriching it, maximize the flow of nutrients by increasing circulation, and help prevent bottlenecks that obstruct movement.
Often Western medicine intervines only after crisis arise, whereas Chinese medicine(TCM) anticipates problems by sustaining our interior landscape. By correcting depletion and stagnation at earlier stages, greater problems later on are avoided.
Sometimes Western medicine has nothing to offer for nagging chronic compalints that Chinese medicine(TCM) can help. They two are not a substitute for each other. They are often complementary. Whereas Western medicine may heroically rescue us, Chinese medicine(TCM) can protect and preserve our health day to day.(Alternative Medicine)

TCM of Origin

TCM is an ancient medical system that has been practised in China for thousands of years. It includes acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. TCM holds the view that the human body is a holistic organism in and of itself, and as part of the universe. The condition of the whole body (body, mind, spirit) as well as the effects of nature (seasons, weather, environment, geographic factors) are all considered when making a TCM diagnosis and establishing the principles of treatment. Therefore, the treatment given to each person is individualized. Although TCM is an old form of traditional medicine, it has been successfully integrated with modern medicine in China over the last forty years. A lot of research work has been done since then.
