How to understand the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine?
Traditional Chinese medicine in China has two functions. The first is to treat diseases. There is a saying: take medicine for each other and have a sip of soup. It shows that Chinese medicine in China is extensive and profound. Secondly, there is a more important aspect of Chinese medicine in China, which is to regulate the meridians and blood vessels of the human body, so as to play the role of health preservation and disease prevention. In this regard, Chinese medicine has its unique purpose. That is to keep people from getting sick and avoid the pain of getting sick. According to western medicine, if you have high blood pressure or diabetes, you must take medicine for life. The purpose is to maintain or control the development of hypertension or diabetes. If the drug is stopped, the condition will recur or worsen.

Can you completely cure hypertension or diabetes? Traditional Chinese medicine uses "nourishing" to change the body's physique, activate the meridians of the human body, clean the blood vessels of the human body, and keep the human body away from hypertension or diabetes. During this period, the use of Chinese medicine is also a long-term conditioning process, but the purpose is different. Western medicine is to control and maintain, while Chinese medicine is to improve and cure. Make human blood vessels unobstructed and elastic; Turn the acidic constitution of human body into weak alkaline constitution, so as to eliminate the root cause and get rid of it.

For example, in winter and spring, cold and cold alternate, and nasal congestion is a common occurrence. The spray sold in pharmacies can improve the condition of nasal congestion, but there are still cases of repeated nasal congestion. In Compendium of Materia Medica, it is said that moxibustion is necessary if medicine does not reach the needle. We can use moxibustion to prevent nasal congestion. In winter and spring, sticking moxibustion at relevant acupoints every day can prevent the occurrence of early nasal congestion.

Moxibustion is used to treat the following points: Shangxing, Tang Yin, Bitong, Xiang Ying, Hegu and Shu Fei, once every morning and evening, and once every 7 days. After two courses of treatment, the stuffy nose will stay away from your nasal cavity, allowing you to live and work happily.

In order to facilitate their own moxibustion, it is recommended to use the Yipin Aida Moxibustion Sticker produced by Wuhan Yipin Aida Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to recuperate and keep the nasal cavity healthy? Can play a multiplier effect.
