Western medicine treats the symptoms. It only relieves your current symptoms and helps you relieve your pain. Western medicine generally cannot cure the root cause (that is, the root cause).
TCM can cure the root cause and has indescribable advantages over Western medicine for chronic diseases. It can fundamentally solve the problem, but it requires long-term conditioning. For common ailments, because the onset time is short and they do not cause much damage to the body, Western medicine can quickly solve the problem. Of course, Chinese medicine can also be used.
