What are the advantages of Chinese medicine over Western medicine?

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are also different in terms of methods due to their different perspectives on seeing diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly diagnoses and diseases from the perspective of cold, heat, deficiency and reality, and macroscopic aspects. Western medicine, on the other hand, mainly looks at diseases from a microscopic perspective such as cells and microorganisms, so the two are also very different in terms of medication.

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the balance of yin and yang in the human body to achieve the best purpose. Western medicine mainly uses Western medicine to attack bacteria and viruses, so Western medicine is more direct and effective, but it is also easy to damage some normal tissue cells of the human body. Compared with Western medicine, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively slow, but it is mainly based on regulating the human body, so it is relatively small.

Therefore, if it is an acute disease or a critical illness, it is necessary to use Western medicine**. If it is a chronic disease and the course of treatment is relatively long, you need to choose traditional Chinese medicine**, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Before this question, I would like to ask a question, in life, where it comes to the establishment of ambulance, how many patients are saved by Chinese medicine. If you want to talk about the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, it may lie in some diseases that Western medicine cannot deal with, and traditional Chinese medicine can also produce a little effect, and if you want to ask why it is effective, no one can do this question yet. From the composition of traditional Chinese medicine, to how to exert pharmacological effects, and what adverse reactions there are, these are all unclear, so if you want to ask what advantages traditional Chinese medicine has over Western medicine, I think it should be more mysterious and unpredictable, Western medicine has a prescribed dose, a specific way of administration, clear pharmacological effects and adverse reactions, these Chinese medicines have no way.

Relatively speaking, traditional Chinese medicine is smaller than Western medicine, and its toxicity is also less in some aspects, but the disadvantage is that some diseases will be slower.

When you are seriously ill and Western medicine is helpless, Chinese medicine is the last straw that saves your life, and you will feel lucky to be born in China. Traditional Chinese medicine has advantages and advantages for adjusting functional diseases, can prevent diseases before they occur, and can change the physical condition of the whole body as a whole

The advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are reflected in specific diseases and stages, and the advantages and disadvantages cannot be simply explained.

1. Medication theory: In terms of medication theory, traditional Chinese medicine relies on the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the way of thinking of syndrome differentiation, while western medicine relies on the physiological and pathological way of thinking of modern western medicine. Relatively speaking, the way of thinking of Western medicine is easier to understand and accept, while the theory and way of thinking of Chinese medicine are relatively abstract, complex, and obscure.

Taking a cold as an example, Western medicine believes that it is an upper respiratory tract infection, which can be specific to the infection site, the type of infected microorganism and the severity of the infection. Traditional Chinese medicine divides colds into multiple syndrome types such as wind-chill cold, wind-heat cold, summer damp cold, qi deficiency cold, yin deficiency cold, etc., each syndrome type can choose a number of different ** programs because of the different specific symptoms, and there is rarely a situation where one disease is one medicine, and the choice of medication is more complicated;

2. Pharmacological research: In terms of pharmacological research, such as the absorption and metabolism process of drugs, active ingredients of drugs, effective blood concentrations and many other aspects, Western medicine is more clear, while most traditional Chinese medicines are not clear enough, and the use of drugs generally comes from clinical experience summarized for a long time. The advantage of Western medicine is that the medication is clear, and the disadvantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that although the medication is also based on the evidence, it is not clear enough in the specific details;

3. Drug effect: For different diseases, Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have their own advantages. Taking a cold as an example, if it is clearly a bacterial infection and it is more severe, taking Western medicine and antibiotics generally has a faster effect, while Chinese medicine usually has a slower effect.

If the cough does not heal for a long time after non-bacterial** infection, the effect of taking Chinese medicine is better, while Western medicine does not have a good effect;

4. Toxicity: Because the pharmacological research of Western medicine is relatively clear, the toxicity is also more clear and detailed, including the specific manifestations of toxicity, poisoning dose, duration, mitigation and methods. The relative lack of clarity in this aspect of traditional Chinese medicine is also a major disadvantage of traditional Chinese medicine.

The most meaningful way to compare the advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine, or whether to choose traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, is to analyze a specific disease. After a comprehensive analysis of many factors such as drug efficacy, toxicity, and economic conditions, an accurate judgment can be made.

There are differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine in terms of diagnosis and treatment concepts and methods. It can be said that they all have their own strengths. People may perceive them differently.

As far as I'm concerned, of course, I believe in both Chinese medicine and Western medicine. However, if I had to choose one of the two, I would prefer to believe in Chinese medicine when I was sick.

Traditional Chinese culture advocates harmony, and traditional Chinese medicine is more about regulating the human body as a whole. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all parts of the human body are in harmony and unity. Traditional Chinese medicine divides the internal organs of the human body into heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and corresponds to one of the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and summarizes their relationship as mutual growth and mutual restraint.

Some people may think that such a statement is not entirely scientifically sound. However, it has its own "Tao" and shines with its brilliance in practice. In a sense, compared with Western medicine, which is similar to the practice of "treating headaches and feet with pain", Chinese medicine has a broader perspective and more calm wisdom.

This is one of the reasons why I believe in Chinese medicine more when I am sick.

Traditional Chinese medicine is derived from natural animals and plants, and although there is a process of processing and refining Chinese patent medicine, compared with the chemical synthesis of Western medicine, it is closer to nature, closer to the natural state of life, and closer to the dynamic life system that circulates it. There is no doubt that the value of chemistry is considerable, and chemical synthetic products have long been integrated into all aspects of life, providing great convenience for human beings. Nor do we need to panic and reject them.

In fact, chemical pharmaceuticals have helped mankind solve many medical problems and have made great contributions in the history of human development. However, I still feel that there are still certain unknown factors in artificial synthesis and layer by layer processing. It's adding something else to our body.

In fact, it is well known that Western medicines (both synthetic and extracted) have more negative effects on the human body and the environment. I believe in Chinese medicine more when I am sick, and this is one of the reasons. However, it is believed that the further development of Western medicine in the future will be able to solve some of its existing problems.

<> current situation, we see that Western medicine continues to promote the development of human health. We also see that Chinese medicine is being understood and affirmed by more people in the world, and Chinese medicine is serving hundreds of millions of people. Whether you believe in Chinese medicine or Western medicine when you are sick depends on each person's own opinion.

However, the illness should not be delayed by sticking to the main law. When necessary, the best ways of both Chinese and Western medicine should be applied.

When you are sick, do you believe in Chinese medicine or Western medicine? The above is mine. It is believed that both Chinese medicine and Western medicine will continue to develop and improve in the future. It is also hoped that they can complement each other's advantages and jointly promote human health.

1. Advantages and disadvantages of traditional Chinese medicine.

Pros:Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis is to explore the real disease through the appearance of the disease and then treat, that is, everyone says that the treatment of the disease should go to the root, and it has a good rate in terms of chronic diseases. According to different **, there are various means of treatment, and many diseases can be treated internally and externally, reducing the harm to the human body caused by the use of drugs.

Traditional Chinese medicine is basically based on plants that are naturally found in nature, and the human body rarely develops resistance to drugs. In the thousand-year history, the contraindications of "five fears and eighteen antis" of drug use have been summed up, and reasonable drug compatibility has greatly reduced the toxicity of drugs to human liver and kidney and other organs. Acupuncture and other diagnosis and treatment methods that rely on the meridian theory have little pain and good effect, and many foreign countries have begun to study.

Cons:The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine is too profound, and the doctrines of yin and yang and the five elements have become metaphysics in the eyes of those who believe in Western science, which makes it difficult to promote traditional Chinese medicine. It is difficult to cultivate excellent TCM practitioners in a short period of time, and the requirements for personal understanding and talent are extremely high, and only a few people can become highly skilled doctors.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of Western medicine science.

Pros:With the support of a large number of experimental data and medical data, the training cycle of doctors is short, and a large number of medical talents can be cultivated in a short period of time. Medical equipment is upgraded quickly, advanced medical equipment can be quickly found**, and there are a large number of auxiliary medical equipment.

Surgical techniques are becoming more and more advanced, and for emergency patients, they can be quickly rescued and improve the survival rate of critical patients. Under today's big data system, we can share the diagnosis and treatment experience around the world and increase the best rate of patients. Advanced anatomy to better understand the anatomy of the body.

Cons:Some medical devices are not suitable for frequent use, otherwise there is a risk of causing cancer, such as X-ray fluoroscopy. Chemically synthesized drugs need to be continuously upgraded, otherwise in the case of drug resistance caused by the human immune system and bacteria and viruses, a drug will be ineffective for a long time.

Most drugs are not suitable for long-term use, and the toxicity to human organs such as liver and kidney is too great. Drug abuse is evident, and many hospital doctors use antibiotics indiscriminately.

Since Chinese medicine is divided into two categories, Chinese medicine and Western medicine, there are differences between Chinese and Western medicine in terms of medication. Traditional Chinese medicine is mostly biopharmaceutical, mainly including plants, animals, and minerals; Western medicine is a chemical product, including organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and biological products. However, it is undeniable that with the rapid development of drug discovery and drug technology, and the widespread use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine by general practitioners in clinical practice, the attribution of some drugs is indeed complicated.

Literally, the State Food and Drug Administration has a clear definition of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine decoction pieces are traditional Chinese medicine, the national drug approval word starting with z is also traditional Chinese medicine, and the national drug approval word starting with h is Western medicine.

For example, the national drug approval word for cold and heat clearing granules is "z", so cold and clear heat granules are traditional Chinese medicine; The national drug approval of compound licorice tablets starts from "H", so compound licorice tablets are Western medicines. Some medicines may sound like Chinese medicine and even contain the name of Chinese medicine, but they are not necessarily Chinese medicine. Some medicines do not seem to have anything to do with Chinese medicine, but secretly add Chinese medicine ingredients to the ingredients.

If you want to get the medicine is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, in addition to the decoction pieces of Chinese medicine, if you see a tablet, a capsule, a pack of granules, a potion, a bag of potion, in addition to listening to the name, you must see it, the reason why it is approved by the state is because this number at least reflects that it was born in Chinese and Western medicine.

Although there are differences in the number and composition of Chinese and Western medicines, the essential difference is the guiding theory of clinical use, that is, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. In general, it is Western medicine that directly ** the disease without syndrome differentiation. Giving Chinese medicine its own properties and taking into account its hot and cold is the usage of Chinese medicine.

Cleverly, with the rapid development of drug discovery and drug technology, and the widespread use of TCM and Western medicine by GPs in clinical practice, the attribution of some drugs is really complicated. With the continuous deepening of the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Chinese patent medicine is favored by people and sought after by merchants. In recent years, most of the raw materials come from natural Chinese patent medicines, which are favored by people and sought after by enterprises.

In order to improve the efficacy of proprietary Chinese medicines, in addition to the selection of proprietary Chinese medicines according to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the effects of Western medicines such as sweating, antipyretic, and analgesic are also added. Western medicine can make up for the shortcomings of slow efficacy and many shortcomings of Chinese patent medicine, and accelerate the efficacy of drugs, learn from each other in terms of efficacy, and help to catch a cold. Compound preparations of Chinese and Western medicine are composed of components of Chinese and Western medicine, and although most of the compound preparations are managed according to the ingredients of Chinese and Western medicine, chemical components are particularly prominent in clinical applications.

Regardless of adverse reactions or repeated use, the chemical composition is carried out around that chemical composition.

I think the biggest difference between important and Western medicine is the efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine generally has a relatively slow effect, but it does not cause much harm to the body, while Western medicine has a relatively large impact on the body although the effect is very fast.

The biggest difference is that the ingredients of the drug, the measurement of the medicine, the effect, and the time of effect are all different, because traditional Chinese medicine is made of herbs, and Western medicine is a chemical synthetic drug.

The difference is that the time is not the same. The ** of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively slow, and Western medicine can achieve some effects immediately, so the overall ** effect is not the same.
