Except for traumatic first aid, TCM is preferred.

Chinese medicine can provide health care, disease recovery and physical conditioning. When these things are done properly, a person basically will not suffer from any serious illness, and thus there is no need for the intervention of Western medicine.

Life's major diseases, nothing more than cardiovascular diseases, immune system diseases, diseases of the five organs and six bowels, in the final analysis is the human body systems engineering. With a systems engineering perspective, is nothing more than how to maintain the system, free from external interference, pay attention to diet and living, emotional adjustment, conservation of the spirit. Disease of the three major sources (climate and environment, diet, labor, mental and emotional) are to be well guarded, where the disease comes from?

Chinese medicine point of view, the source of disease, whether it is caused by the six elements of disease, or improper diet and labor caused by disease, or the seven emotions and six desires caused by disease, in the final analysis, is the body imbalance, yin and yang and five elements have a bias. There are bias can be corrected, or medicine, or acupuncture massage.

Physical conditions, but also the body can not self-regulation, the need for external intervention, exercise, tai chi, boxing, and even tapping, stretching, are from the outside of the body through the activities of the body to change the body's way.

The body restores its self-adjustment function and the disease naturally gets better.

Older people have to go through menopause, especially women's menopause is more obvious. Do a good job of menopause health care, timely treatment with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, adjustment and recovery of the body. Don't fall sick during menopause, it will be much better afterward.

Do a good job of body maintenance, discomfort in a timely manner to find a Chinese medicine practitioner to adjust, and then learn some Chinese medicine, the big diseases do not come to find, why not do it.

Any disease, before accepting any kind of treatment, should be treated with scientific evidence.

I do not agree that Chinese medicine can cure all diseases, but I also do not agree that Chinese medicine is useless. What I have always insisted on is that Chinese medicine should find a suitable route for itself, and Chinese medicine practitioners should also find their own areas of specialization to play their roles. After all, our ancestors have survived and prospered for thousands of years with the blessing of Chinese medicine.

To this day, modern medicine does dominate, but TCM does play its part as a complementary medicine.

For example, acupuncture. Acupuncture is by far the most accepted form of Chinese medicine in the world, and I have witnessed the immediate effects of acupuncture. I once studied in a Chinese medicine hospital for a period of time, and when I was rotating in the acupuncture department, one day near the end of the day, a female patient who had fallen off the pillow came in with an unbearable expression on her face. Seeing this, the director let her lie down on the hospital bed and started to help her with acupuncture, and with hot compresses. After about 20 minutes, I removed the needles, and just as she sat up and twisted her neck, she was surprised to find that the pain had completely disappeared! She was pleasantly surprised and I was shocked! It really was an immediate effect!

Another example is Chinese medicine for coughs. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that there is no cough that cannot be cured by Chinese medicine. And that's true, especially for dry coughs that are prolonged after a cold, when Western medicine has been tried in a variety of ways and a CT has been done to rule out other problems, Chinese medicine is especially effective.

So yes, there must be a place for Chinese medicine, the key lies in the fact that workers in Chinese medicine must find the right direction. If it's not your job, don't do it the hard way. If it's your job, do it right!

Western medicine is preferred for the vast majority of diseases, and the advantages of modern medicine over traditional Chinese medicine are enormous. The following cases can see Chinese medicine: 1 Western doctors say that there is no disease or can not be detected. In fact, this situation is sometimes just some symptoms, not a disease; there are also functional diseases, some methods of traditional Chinese medicine, especially folk experience can be effective, but beware of fraud; and then there are some psychological problems. Chinese medicine has a strong psychological suggestion, which can play a role equal to or stronger than a placebo.

2 Western medicine says there is no cure. For some western medicine has no treatment method or the treatment effect is not good, you can go to Chinese medicine. For example, some advanced tumors can be assisted by traditional Chinese medicine; some gynecological diseases can be adjusted by traditional Chinese medicine; some sequelae of cerebrovascular accidents, traditional Chinese medicine sometimes has a unique effect.

3 Finally, one can only find cheap Chinese medicine practitioners if one cannot afford to see a doctor. Although health is priceless, it is difficult to move an inch without money, but Chinese medicine is sometimes not cheap, I can only bless those people to keep their eyes open.

For chronic diseases and sub-health, I would choose Chinese medicine. Do not take Chinese medicine as a cure for diseases, which will disappoint you. If any Chinese medicine practitioner says that he will cure any disease, he must be a liar. Chinese medicine is to regulate body functions, soothe the meridians and balance yin and yang, increase the vitality of the body, and improve the health of the body in order to prolong life.

It depends on personal preference. In the past, I always took western medicine for colds. For a period of time, after taking western medicine aminogalactan tablets, always feel tight brain, tinnitus, go to the hospital to see a western doctor, the doctor said that western cold medicine contain p-acetamidophenol on the brain nerve damage, it is recommended to switch to traditional Chinese medicine, so the doctor prescribed a compound cold and flu soft gelatin capsule, ate a day after the brain tightness, tinnitus symptoms subside, and then served a day, the whole body comfort. Since then, I have been taking Chinese medicine for colds and flu and rarely use western medicine.
