TCM is starkly different from modern medicine in terms of both analytical methodology and medicines used for treatment.Primarily,it aims to restore the inner physical balance of a patient instead of killing any specific viruses or illnesses (the modern way of treatment).For patients with the same illnesses,TCM practitioners may prescribe very different medicines because the causes,according to the TCM theories,may differ.Generally,a group of herbs are used in TCM treatment to bring out the combined force of the mixture.
For many trained physicians of modern medicine,such a methodology is hard to understand.They often shrug it as a proof of the irrationality and even absurdity of the TCM.
But for patients,it is always a treatment’s effectiveness that matters the most.There have been reports and medical records of cases in which some experienced TCM practitioners have successfully cured some chronic diseases and even fatal diseases,such as cancer,that are seen as incurable using modern medicine.
How can TCM practitioners achieve this? It is a consensus among TCM practitioners that it is not because of any single magical herb,but because of the proper mixing of herbs in accordance with classical TCM theories.
There are many advocates in China for the modernization of the TCM.They argue that TCM should be reformed by using modern medicine methodology.The country has spent a lot of money on that drive in the past decades,which mainly involves the exploration and extraction of effective ingredients from the various herbs and the standardization of TCM prescriptions so that TCM can be utilized in a “scientific” way.The idea sounds attractive,but it has turned out to be largely ineffective in curing diseases.
