Traditional Chinese medicine Posted: 04-16-08 08:00am
I was wondering how effective is
traditional Chinese medicine compared to
regular medicine. I mean it seems that
most, if not all, of it is "dietary
supplements only" ..but does it have a
real effect? Does anybody have real
experience using any of this medications?

Chinese medicine takes a different
approach and looks at your lifestyle and
overall health, not just at the specific
symptoms.
If you have chronic problems they might be
able to find alternative or contributing
causes of whatever illness you may have
that a western doctor won't. Most chinese
medicine is herbal but it is still
medicine and the effects of the herbs are
still medical meaning that if you take it
lightly or goto a unskilled practitioner
you may find yourself in a lot of
trouble.
also chinese medicine believes in
regulating the body to defeat the illness,
it may not fix the problem instantly and
patience sometimes is required.
