What Chinese Medicine Treats

Chinese Medicine is a healing system that goes back thousands of years. For most if its existence, it was the only form of medicine available to the people who used it. In its broadest form, Chinese Medicine is meant to treat a very wide variety of illnesses indeed.

There are many conditions that modern Western Medicine is far better at treating than Chinese Medicine. On the other hand, there are conditions for which Chinese Medicine can be an excellent choice. Generally speaking, those conditions that Western Medicine treats best – emergency conditions, illnesses that must be treated with surgery – are those for which Chinese Medicine plays only a secondary, supportive role. Likewise, those conditions that Western Medicine finds difficult to treat – pain, digestive problems of unknown origin, chronic fatigue – are those for which Chinese Medicine can be quite effective.
