The Chinese medicine favors internal medicine, focusing on the body's internal conditioning; Western medicine favors surgery, focusing on the body's external governance. Image a little bit, Western medicine is a bit like "headache, foot", really have a problem on the excision, that is, surgery; and Chinese medicine is the root of the problem, that each disease is the body's internal imbalance caused by, so focus on the conditioning, seeking a balance, "toxin to fight poison!
The theory of the "poison against poison" is also based on this balance.
The theory of Chinese medicine is based on the theory of human meridians and the theory of human yin and yang and five elements, and these points have not been proved and recognized by modern science, and there is still a great deal of controversy, which is also a fundamental conflict.
The reason why modern Western medicine will be in the momentum over Chinese medicine, there are several reasons:
One, fast results. Western medicine is used to heal the body outside the way to govern, so the effect is fast, but this way to destroy the body's finishing balance, so the side effects and after-effects are also large; and Chinese medicine is to adjust, step by step, the relative effect of a lot of slow, and modern people are rarely go to the back of the matter, just think of the good can be quickly on the line, the mentality of quick success and quick gain, Chinese medicine is a lot of backwardness.
Two, the development of medical equipment. Before the emergence of medical equipment, Western medicine surgery is very rough, purely surgical, and does not understand the internal structure of the human body, do not understand its pathology, but with the emergence of a variety of medical equipment, Western medicine, this situation has been fundamentally resolved, and so also developed the dependence of Western medicine on the equipment, empty-handed will not be able to cure the disease; at this point, traditional Chinese medicine used to rely on personal experience and medical skills, and does not depend on external objects, although in recent times, the Chinese medicine is not the most important thing. In this regard, Chinese medicine used to rely on personal experience and medical skills, and did not rely on external objects. Although there has been catching up in recent times, it has been lagging behind for so long that it will not be able to change for a while.
Three, the development of chemical technology. Western chemistry started early, ahead of China, and Western medicine is based on chemistry, chemistry developed they have a unique in Western medicine above. In contrast, Chinese herbal medicine there are still many people in doubt.
Four, scientific superstition theory. Modern people what are crowned with the signboard of science, not scientifically verified is a fraud, at this point, Western medicine has an inherent advantage, because the West is scientifically developed, they say that is science, that is science, is not science, even if it is pseudo-science. And the meridian doctrine and the five elements of the human body doctrine of Chinese medicine because it can not be verified, is considered false, so not many people believe in it, even if it is true that it can cure the disease, but because it can not be proved that it exists, so it has not been conclusive.
Fifth, the backwardness of the country's economy. Because of the country's backwardness, all things in China are comprehensively denied, that all aspects are comprehensively backward, even if in fact advanced will be denied, if China's economic strength can have the degree of the United States, Chinese medicine will not be the current situation.
