Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine:
"Chinese medicine stresses "prevention before diseases rather than treating diseases". This does not simply refer to the medical thought of prevention before disease onset. More importantly, before the discovery of the development trend of certain diseases, that is, when patients with symptoms or not feeling well, without waiting for the disease to be formed, without waiting for detection of positive results, you can use the medicine to prevent and treat it. To senile diseases, degenerative diseases, sub-health state, TCM has positive roles in the prevention and correction.

Chinese medicine treats diseases mainly with prescription and acupuncture. Acupuncture is used as a non-medication therapy, whose side effects are slight in an acknowledged way. Chinese medicine is mainly from the original medications of nature. Most of them are not only without toxicity or side effects, but also through processing, especially in accordance with the principle of "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" combined into a prescription, TCM upholds "prescription corresponding with the disease" as the basic idea of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, and "balancing, uprighting and eliminating the pathogens" as the principle of applying the prescription to play an integrated role in the body. This way can cure diseases and rarely cause side effects. TCM never simply combats poison with poison."
