TCMTCM represents a combination of humanities and natural sciences, embracing profound philosophical ideas of the Chinese nation. The value that underpins the principle and practices of TCM is based on the Daoism. The approach to understanding the universe and human body is unique. Everything is interdependent and mutually interactive. Nothing is excluded; nothing is interpreted without reference to the whole. For example+man should observe the law of the nature and seek for the unity of the heaven and humanity. +the prescription in TCM should include the sovereign, minister, assistant and messenger ingredient drugs at the same time.western medicinewestern medicine is concerned with isolated diseases categories or agents of disease. It seeks to understand a system always by breaking it down into its constituent parts. That means analytical experiments are emphasized and examination parameters are needed. TCMTCM represents the core value of Chinese civilization so that it lays great stress on the principle of harmony. TCM advocates that yin and yang should be balanced to obtain the golden mean. For example+Chinese “soft exercise” which contains Taiji, qigong, and so on set great store by the importance of harmony between the natural qi and the innate qi. western medicineNevertheless, western medicine is committed to isolating first, then controlling and last destroying.

That means from the Western doctors perspective, all these patients suffer from the same disorder. TCM&WESTERN MEDICINE+ TCM gives special importance to preventative treatment, but the western medicine is not. +TCM has developed unique and simple tools for treatment, such as the small splints for osteopathy, the spoons used in guasha and the cups while the western medicine is subject to a lot of modern complex equipments and medical appliances.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
