Common Healthcare
1. Obscure condition Chinese Medicine is able to treat some special conditions that western medicine has no name or explanation for. This is because Chinese medicine uses its own diagnostic system and its own unique method for describing disease. As a result, the TCM practitioner does not need to put a western medical label to the disease just in order to treat it. Therefore, if some disease couldn’t be resolved by western medicine, please consider that Chinese medicine might provide effective resolution of the symptoms or cure it.
2. Side effects of Modern drugs If you are undergoing a heavy drug therapy such as in the treatment of cancer, HIV or hepatitis, consider Chinese medicine as a support. Chinese medicine is able to treat the side effects of modern medications
There are very few incidences of negative interactions between Chinese medicine and modern drugs. In most cases, the use of the two side-by-side gives an enhanced treatment.
Chinese medicine treatment experiences very few even no side effects. According to your individual health condition, the formula of the treatment consists of a group of chinese herbs or acu-points, each herb or acu-point has a different role in the formula. Some of them are meant to prevent the side effect of the others
