How long should I take Chinese medicine?

When we feel unwell or sick, we usually seek treatment. Some people prefer Western medicine, while others prefer Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine treatment usually focuses on conditioning with Chinese medicine. When receiving Chinese medicine treatment, many friends will ask how long to take the medicine. This situation depends on the patient's condition. Let us learn about it below.

The idea of ​​how long it should take to take traditional Chinese medicine was put forward by people who have no understanding of the core theories of traditional Chinese medicine and is completely wrong.

The various functions of the body can only perform best when the body is in the best condition. Chinese medicine that can truly diagnose and treat diseases does not use drugs to replace a certain function of the body like Western medicine does, but rather adjusts the body to the best state, that is, the state of yin and yang balance. At this time, the functions of various organs of the body can be performed normally. Traditional Chinese medicine does not replace any of the body's own functions. Therefore, saying that Chinese medicine can replace the body's functions and cause the body's own functions to decline means that one has not truly grasped the core theory of Chinese medicine.

If a person's body is already in a state of yin and yang balance, then there is no need to take any medicine, as taking medicine will cause new imbalance. However, in the eyes of a doctor who truly understands the principle of diagnosis and treatment, who is truly in a state of Yin Ping Yang Mi? Very few. Even if you can achieve a roughly balanced state of yin and yang after a period of Chinese medicine conditioning, various factors in life and the inertia of your physical constitution will gradually cause you to deviate from the balance. Therefore, in order to maintain health and prevent diseases through traditional Chinese medicine, we must make traditional Chinese medicine an everyday life. We must regularly seek out knowledgeable Chinese medicine practitioners to judge our own physical condition and make targeted adjustments in order to achieve the goal of maintaining health and preventing diseases. Otherwise, it will be impossible to achieve this goal if you work hard for three days and then rest for two days.

Of course, those Chinese medicine practitioners who have not mastered the core theories of TCM only know how to treat diseases by matching prescriptions with symptoms. Although they can cure many diseases, they cannot guide health preservation and prevent diseases. When taking Chinese medicine of this level, you must know when to stop, otherwise it will lead to new imbalances. However, most of the very famous Chinese medicine practitioners are basically at this level. Therefore, you should be careful when taking Chinese medicine. If you take Chinese medicine from a Chinese medicine practitioner and the effect is good at first, but then you feel more and more uncomfortable, you should not blindly trust it just because of the good effect at first and insist on taking it. You must consider whether you have not adjusted the prescription in time according to changes in your physical condition, which has led to a new imbalance.

Through the above introduction, we now know that how long to take Chinese medicine is a good question. This is a question without an answer, because everyone's condition is different, and the time required for Chinese medicine conditioning is also not certain. It depends on the degree of cure of the patient's condition. Generally, after the body's conditioning reaches a balance, no further treatment is needed. This depends on the individual situation.
