Chinese Medicine vs Western Medicine

Chinese Medicine is totally different from Western Medicine. They have different theories and methods.

Chinese Medicine treats people as a whole. It believes all the symptom is a reflection of the inner body. The methods doctors usually use are observation, smelling, asking, and feeling the pulse. A distinctive feature is slow. An old man, a magical prescription and bitter medicines. I believe many Chinese people have such memories, especially the adults. Acupuncture is a typical method. It is believed that there are more than 1000 acupuncture points in human body. Each acupuncture point controls different part of the body and plays a certain function. 365 of them are frequently used. I think we haven't got a thorough understanding of all the acupuncture points. We can cure ills through irritating the specific acupuncture point. Another important notion of Chinese Medicine is to convalesce through care, rest, and nourishment. I strongly agree with the idea. You can refer to:http://www.aijk.com/news/detail/5372.html

Western Medicine has taken the most advanced technology innovations into its treating. Just think about ultrasonic scanning, CT. I found some comments on Western Medicine on the Internet: They treat patients like a machine, making up of components. Funny, right? But kind of reasonable. In corresponding to acupuncture, Western Medicine has surgery. It's much acuter and direct.

Let’s move on to the medicine. Chinese medicine has been criticized for no quantification and no enough scientific foundation. Western medicine for its side effect. Many people wonder if they can combine together. It’s hard on the theory part, but possible on the operation part. Each one can play at the segment that it is good at and can do best. We convalesce through care, rest, and nourishment in daily life, and while we get ill, we can go to western medicine for help.
