It has become a consensus that Chinese medicine is slow to heal, but many people are not sure why Chinese medicine is slower to heal. In fact, compared to some special effects of Western medicine, Chinese medicine is indeed much slower, but this is only partly due to the special effect of the drug, most of the time Western medicine is not necessarily faster than the effect of Chinese medicine.
Why do you think TCM treatment is slow?
1. Different types of diseases
The types of diseases that Chinese medicine needs to target are very different, including Western medicine treatment of diseases, the course of treatment for different diseases is also different, but Chinese medicine will be more carefully classified, so there will be a big difference in the method of treatment. The common in life is the treatment of internal diseases, the disease itself requires long-term control, even if you choose Western medicine treatment, the same is also to take long-term medication.
2. The drug course is different
Chinese medicine has a clear course of treatment because Chinese medicine is aimed at the root cause of the disease to treat, while Western medicine is mainly to solve the current symptoms first, followed by the control of the onset of factors. In terms of treatment, these two kinds of treatment effects are completely different, so Chinese medicine is often able to clarify the course of treatment, and therefore will not insist on controlling the symptoms at an early stage, as long as the disease is cured, there will be no more symptoms.
3. The conditioning effect of Chinese medicine
Many people choose Chinese medicine not only to relieve the symptoms and treat the disease but also to regulate the body with Chinese medicine. Because more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the basic condition of the body and want a good physique, Chinese medicine can play such an effect, so while carrying out treatment, the doctor will also add some conditioning drugs, which itself requires long-term persistence to play a good effect, so it is also impossible to treat the disease and conditioning in a short period of time.
4. Chinese medicine’s pursuit of the root of the cure
When treating diseases, TCM not only addresses the root cause of the attack but also seeks to completely cure the disease and ensure that the disease will not attack again, which requires long-term regulation. During the treatment process, the cells of the body will be metabolized continuously and will only be completely replaced once every three months, which means that during the replacement period, Chinese medicine will be used to regulate the cells of the body, and after the replacement period, the cells of the body will be renewed and the problem of recurrence of the disease will be solved naturally.
Because TCM is a thorough treatment, the patient should be patient and cooperate with the doctor actively in order to achieve good results. The effect of Chinese medicine is not slow, and can often relieve the patient’s symptoms at an early stage, but needs to adjust the patient’s constitution, which requires long-term medication, so as to solve the problem at the root. Why is Chinese medicine treatment slow? Mainly these 4 reasons, but can treat the symptoms and cure the root cause!
