Traditional Chinese medicine beauty preservation has unique advantages and some disadvantages. Traditional Chinese medicine beauty emphasizes holistic health care and pays attention to balancing the energy inside and outside the body. This is very important, because only the internal health of the body can be truly reflected in the external beauty. The traditional western beauty methods may only pay attention to the surface effect and ignore the internal conditioning of the body. This is like decorating the appearance of a house but ignoring the structure of the house. It may look beautiful in the short term, but it can't be maintained in the long run.

Traditional Chinese medicine advocates nature and harmony in beauty and health preservation. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the concept of harmony between man and nature, and holds that man and nature should maintain harmony and balance. In the beauty and health care of traditional Chinese medicine, the effect of both internal and external cultivation can be achieved by adjusting diet, work and rest, mood and so on. This method can not only improve skin problems, but also improve the overall health level. In contrast, some chemicals and operations may cause harm and side effects to the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine beauty and health care pays attention to individualized treatment. Chinese medicine formulates corresponding treatment plans according to everyone's physical characteristics and needs, and regulates the body in a targeted manner. In this way, we can give full play to the advantages of individuals and achieve the effect of the right medicine. However, the cosmetic methods of western medicine are often universal and do not take into account everyone's differences, so they may not be able to meet individual needs.

There are also some shortcomings in TCM beauty and health preservation. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long course of treatment and slow effect. Compared with some quick and effective cosmetic methods of western medicine, TCM health care needs long-term persistence to see obvious improvement. This may be a challenge for modern people, because they prefer to solve problems in a quick and simple way.

TCM regimen may require more patience and self-discipline. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the principles of regulating the balance of yin and yang, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing, which requires people to have certain self-discipline to insist on making corresponding changes. For some people who lack perseverance or have bad habits, they may find it difficult to persist.

Traditional Chinese medicine regimen has limited effect on some serious diseases or congenital problems. Although Chinese medicine can improve some common skin problems, it may not be able to significantly improve some serious skin diseases or congenital problems. In this case, western medicine may provide a better solution.

Traditional Chinese medicine beauty preservation has unique advantages and some disadvantages. It pays attention to holistic health care, emphasizes nature and harmony, individualized treatment and so on, and has the advantages of long-term effect and comprehensive improvement of physical health. Its disadvantages such as long course of treatment, slow effect and limited effect on serious diseases or congenital problems also need our knowledge and understanding. Therefore, when choosing a beauty regimen, we should comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of different methods according to our own needs and conditions, and find the most suitable one.
