Is Chinese medicine more suitable for Chinese people? What is better than Western medicine?

First of all, let's understand Chinese medicine and Western medicine (from Baidu Encyclopedia).

Chinese medicine, also known as Chinese medicine, refers to the traditional medicine created by the Chinese Han people as the main medical science, is the study of human physiology, pathology, as well as the diagnosis and prevention of diseases, and other disciplines.

Chinese medicine was born in the primitive society, the theory of Chinese medicine has been basically formed in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and has been summarized and developed in the following generations. In addition to this, it has had a profound influence on the countries in the Chinese character culture circle, such as Japanese medicine, Korean medicine, Korean Koryo medicine, Vietnamese Eastern medicine, etc., all of which are based on the development of Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine carries the experience and theoretical knowledge of the ancient Chinese people in their fight against diseases, and it is a medical theoretical system that has been gradually formed and developed through long-term medical practice under the guidance of ancient simple materialism and spontaneous dialectical thinking.

Chinese medicine takes yin and yang and the five elements as its theoretical foundation, regards the human body as the unity of gas, form and god, and through the method of "looking, smelling, questioning and cutting" and the four diagnostic methods, it explores the cause of the disease, its nature and its location, analyzes the mechanism of the disease and the changes of the five viscera and six bowels, the meridians and joints, and the qi, blood and fluids in the human body, and determines whether the evil and the positive are eliminated or eliminated, and then comes up with the name of the disease. To summarize the type of evidence, the principle of diagnosis and treatment, the development of "sweat, spit, down, and, warm, clear, tonic, elimination" and other treatments, the use of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, massage, cupping, qigong, dietary therapy and other means of treatment, so that the human body to achieve the reconciliation of yin and yang and recovery.

Western medicine (modern medicine)

What the modern Chinese call "Western medicine" is usually referred to as "the medical system of modern Western countries" (i.e. modern medicine). The modern western medical system originated in the modern western countries, it is the modern western countries scholars in the modern period in the denial and abandonment of the ancient Greek medicine, the reductionist point of view to study the human body's physiological phenomena and pathological phenomena in the process of the development of an anatomy and physiology, tissue embryology, biochemistry and molecular biology as the basic disciplines of the new system of medical science, the new medical system is now China's medical system. This new medical system is what the Chinese people nowadays often call "Western medicine". Modern and contemporary Western medicine in modern China is called "new medicine", as opposed to "old medicine (Chinese medicine)".

Modern Western medical system is based on anatomy and physiology, tissue embryology, biochemistry and molecular biology; Chinese medicine (traditional Chinese medicine) is based on physiology of Tibetan images, meridians and acupoints.

Modern Western medical system is the modern period of Western scholars in the denial and abandonment of the ancient Greek medicine, the reductionist point of view to study the physiological phenomena of the human body and pathological phenomena in the process of the development of a medical system; Chinese medicine is the ancient and modern Chinese scholars in the process of the holistic view of the idea of the human body to study physiological phenomena of the phenomena of the human body and pathological phenomena in the development of a medical system. Chinese medicine is a medical system developed by ancient and modern Chinese scholars in the process of studying the physiological and pathological phenomena of the human body with a holistic view.

The diagnostic technology in the modern medical system of the western countries is more to make accurate diagnosis of diseases with the help of advanced medical instruments and laboratories. Doctors use their sensory organs to diagnose a patient's disease through visual diagnosis, palpation, percussion, auscultation, olfaction and other methods, or with the help of stethoscopes, percussion hammers, sphygmomanometers, thermometers, and other simple tools to carry out a comprehensive and systematic examination of the patient.

In the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine, we can see that traditional Chinese medicine has been used since our ancestors. So there's nothing wrong with saying that Chinese medicine is more suitable for us. After all, that's the way we've always seen it.

In Western medicine, in fact, is targeted will be stronger. Let's say a cold is divided into a fever and a viral cold in Western medicine. For different colds, the drugs prescribed are different.

The Chinese medicine focuses on the overall situation, treating the symptoms and treating the root cause, while the Western medicine focuses on the individual attack.

The Chinese medicine treatment is different from person to person and categorizes the illnesses finely. The dialectical treatment, the right medicine, medicine to the disease, to achieve the efficacy of treating the symptoms and treating the root cause.

Western medicine is a headache, a foot, can only solve the problem of the moment, treating the symptoms, not the root cause, can not eradicate the disease.
