Of course, the first choice is western medicine. The pace of life is too fast, so we should take the time to cure the disease, and then use Chinese medicine to recuperate slowly in the future. Because Chinese medicine and western medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages in clinic, it is impossible to simply assert which medicine is good and which medicine is not. The following analysis from different aspects:

I. History and culture

Traditional Chinese medicine is an ancient traditional medical culture in China, with a long history and rich experience and theory. It emphasizes the idea of "prevention before illness", pays attention to people's internal health and emphasizes the lifestyle of "moderate efforts". Western medicine, on the other hand, is the representative of western modern medical culture, paying attention to scientific evidence and advanced technology, and emphasizing the right medicine and saving lives.

Second, the treatment method and effect

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, qigong and other methods to treat diseases, which has a certain effect. For example, acupuncture has a significant effect on pain, neurasthenia and insomnia. Traditional Chinese medicine has a certain therapeutic effect on chronic diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction and other diseases. Western medicine mainly uses drugs, surgery and other methods to treat diseases, and the effect is more obvious. Drugs such as antibiotics and immune enhancers can effectively treat infectious diseases; Surgery can remove or repair organs and cure diseases.

Three. Disease diagnosis and prevention

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to comprehensively understanding and diagnosing the essence of diseases through looking, smelling, asking and feeling. Western medicine pays attention to the formation of systematic diagnosis and treatment standards, and relies on rigorous experiments and detection methods to judge the type, degree and prognosis of diseases, so as to formulate corresponding treatment plans. In the aspect of disease prevention, Chinese medicine attaches importance to health care from diet and according to the way of health preservation; Western medicine focuses on vaccination and biosafety control. A good balance between the two drugs in prevention will help to achieve better disease prevention.

Fourth, the overall health of the people.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the maintenance of people's overall health, and holds that the balance and coordination of people's physical, psychological and social aspects are essential to health. Western medicine emphasizes the treatment of organs and systems. Western medicine is effective in acute and critical diseases, but Chinese medicine is more suitable for improving long-term sub-health status.

Generally speaking, both Chinese medicine and western medicine have their unique advantages and disadvantages. Chinese medicine pays attention to treatment before illness, while western medicine pays attention to treatment before illness; Chinese medicine pays attention to overall health, while western medicine pays attention to organ and system treatment; Therefore, for some chronic diseases that need long-term follow-up, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine may be the best choice.

Finally, I hope everyone is healthy!
