Below is a message from Dr. Wu about what Chinese Medicine is:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a practical medicine, that has been extracted from millions of experiences cultivated throughout some thousands of years of Chinese history. Only the practices that have been proven effective have been collected and organized.
Chinese thinking regards nature as the standard for judgment. Traditional Chinese Medicine naturally has the same principle in its judgment and practice. Treatment methods such as herbs, acupuncture, and physical therapy, are prescribed to maintain the body’s state of health and increase its self-healing ability rather than treating diseases after they have already occurred. This kind of treatment is particularly effective in cases of chronic diseases. The purpose of TCM is to be preventive and continue optimal health, rather than letting people get sick and then treating symptoms.
Even if tests to determine diagnoses show negative results, according to TCM, having subjective symptoms and recognizable changes, in many cases, are signs of early stages of diseases. If no treatments are given until a patient’s test date arises, the disease will have progressed in the interim. In other words, TCM targets diseases in early stages to prevent chronic symptoms. Thus, as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, my biggest concern is the prevention of patient suffering.
