What is the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and what is the difference bet

1. Traditional Chinese medicine started from the study of living people, and Western medicine started from the study of mice and corpses;

2. Traditional Chinese medicine respects each individual's life and believes that everyone's health status will be different, and the best plan will be different; Western medicine treats people as machines on the production line, with one cure for a thousand people and one medicine for ten thousand people.

3. The theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively mature and complete, and Western medicine is always patching, constantly announcing that a certain disease has been overcome, and then constantly announcing that there is a problem with a certain medicine and a certain method. Of course, the Truth of Science will say that this is the spirit of science, but the problem is: human life is not a guinea pig in a laboratory, and it is your business that you are willing to sacrifice as a guinea pig for science, and most people still hope not to fall victim to this kind of patched medicine!

4. Traditional Chinese medicine is the study of life and health, while Western medicine is the study of diseases and pathogens. So many times, the disease is gone, the pathogen is solved, and the person is hanging, and the tumor ** is the most common phenomenon.

5. The cost of traditional Chinese medicine is low, Western medicine, omit a thousand words, hehe.

6. Traditional Chinese medicine is less traumatic and less painful; Western medicine, the bottom line is to try to ensure that you don't mess you up, everything else is what you should bear, and it is also the consciousness you should have when you go to see Western medicine.

7. Traditional Chinese medicine is a general practice, systematic thinking, a good Chinese medicine doctor is equivalent to a hospital; Western medicine is a sub-specialty, local thinking, so if you have poor physical strength, just a diagnosis can make you tired and paralyzed.

8. Traditional Chinese medicine lacks commercial thinking, and Western medicine is supported by large pharmaceutical companies and multinational insurance companies, so Western medicine is also a typical product of the modern industrial revolution.

9. When there is a quack doctor or a quack doctor in traditional Chinese medicine, many people will immediately criticize him; Every day, so many people in the West Hospital are hung up if they can't be cured or have a medical accident, it's okay, everyone is used to it, but the money that should be collected is collected, which is called legal robbery.

The above are some of my opinions, don't say that I am too extreme, why has TCM had to distort itself according to their set of patching standards from education to clinical to scientific research for many years, and TCM does not even have a place to speak?

1. The origin is different.

It originated in Western countries in the modern era.

Traditional Chinese medicine was born in a primitive society, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine has been basically formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has been summarized and developed in successive dynasties.

2. Different research directions.

The medical system of modern Western countries is based on anatomy and physiology, histology and embryology, biochemistry and molecular biology.

Traditional Chinese medicine is based on Tibetan physiology and meridian acupoints.

3. Different ways of seeing a doctor.

The diagnostic technology in the medical system of modern Western countries is more based on the use of advanced medical instruments and laboratories to make accurate diagnosis of diseases. Doctors use their own sensory organs to diagnose patients' diseases by means of inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, sniffing, etc., or with the help of stethoscopes, percussion hammers, blood pressure monitors, thermometers and other simple tools to diagnose patients' diseases.

Through the method of "looking, hearing, asking and cutting", we can explore the pathogenesis, the changes of the five internal organs, meridians and joints, qi, blood and fluid in the human body, and judge the growth and decline of evil, and then obtain the name of the disease, summarize the syndrome type, and treat the principle of syndrome differentiation.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two different medical systems, and their essential differences lie in their theoretical basis, diagnostic methods, and means.

The theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine is the theory of the five elements of yin and yang and the theory of meridians, which believes that the human body is an organic whole, the internal and external environment interact, and diseases are caused by the imbalance of yin and yang within the human body or the blockage of meridians. The diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine are mainly looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and judging the patient's condition by observing the patient's complexion, tongue coating, and pulse. The best methods of traditional Chinese medicine include traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, qigong, etc., with the main purpose of adjusting the balance of yin and yang within the human body.

The theoretical basis of Western medicine is modern medical sciences such as anatomy, physiology, and pathology, which believe that diseases are caused by pathological changes within the human body. The diagnostic methods of Western medicine are mainly physical examinations, laboratory tests, imaging examinations, etc., and the patient's physical condition is judged by examining the patient's physical condition. The methods of Western medicine include drugs, surgery, radiation, etc., with the main purpose of eliminating pathological changes.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the overall limb modification, the method is mild, the method is small, and it is suitable for the conditioning of chronic diseases and sub-health states. However, the diagnostic methods and methods of traditional Chinese medicine require a long time of study and practice, and the efficacy needs time to be verified.

Western medicine pays attention to the study of pathogenesis, and the method is fast and effective, which is suitable for the treatment of acute and critical diseases. However, the methods of Western medicine may produce ***, and the cost is higher. Therefore, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, complementing each other, is the development direction of modern medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a traditional medicine that has a long history and cultural background. However, from the perspective of modern science, some theories and methods of Chinese medicine are not fully scientifically verified and supported by evidence, so they are considered pseudoscience by some. At the same time, there are also some traditional Chinese medicine ** in clinical practice to achieve certain results, but this does not mean that the scientific nature of Chinese medicine theory and methods has been proven.

In general, TCM needs to be constantly tested and verified by modern science to improve its scientific and clinical application effect.
