Advantages of TCM Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment

In my country, TCM treatment is very common and is the essence of the country. Because TCM treatment has made great achievements in medicine, many diseases can be controlled by TCM, and TCM treatment of diseases will not have any side effects on the body. As early as hundreds of years ago, some ancient people chose TCM treatment when seeing a doctor. When TCM treatment is carried out, it is necessary to differentiate the symptoms before getting the results, and then discuss the treatment. So what are the advantages of TCM differentiation of symptoms and treatment?

Treatment based on syndrome differentiation is a major feature of traditional Chinese medicine, which is very beneficial for the treatment of diseases and can also effectively control the occurrence of unexpected situations, which is also an advantage that Western medicine cannot match.

Using the diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, we collect the patient's symptoms, signs and medical history, analyze, synthesize and identify the nature and location of the pathological changes, and determine the nature of the "syndrome". This process is called "dialectics". "Treatment" refers to the treatment principles established on the basis of syndrome differentiation and according to the situation of the positive and negative forces. Therefore, syndrome differentiation is the premise and basis of treatment, and treatment is the means and method of treating diseases. It is also the purpose of syndrome differentiation and a test of whether the syndrome differentiation is correct.

The concepts of "syndrome" and "symptom" are different. "Syndrome" refers to symptoms, such as headache, chills, cough, chest pain, etc.; "syndrome" refers to syndrome, which is a summary of various symptoms at a certain stage in the development of the disease, including the location, cause and nature of the lesion, as well as the struggle between pathogenic factors and disease resistance, etc. It deeply, comprehensively and correctly reflects the essence of the disease.

Syndrome differentiation and treatment is different from "symptomatic treatment" and what modern medicine calls "disease differentiation and treatment." Different symptoms may appear at different stages of the disease, and different diseases may also present the same symptoms during their development. Therefore, different symptoms of the same disease require different treatments. For example, patients with edema (nephritis) have fever, aversion to cold, edema, and difficulty urinating in the early stages, which are "feng shui symptoms" and should be treated by promoting lung function and sweating, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. In the later stages, patients have low back pain, cold limbs, fear of cold, pale face, edema, etc., which are "kidney yang deficiency symptoms" and should be treated by warming the kidney and supporting yang. Different diseases can be treated with the same method as long as the symptoms are the same. For example, diseases such as rectal prolapse, gastroptosis and uterine prolapse are all caused by the sinking of Qi in the middle body, and can be treated with the method of invigorating Qi and raising Yang. This is what Chinese medicine often calls "same disease, different treatments" and "different diseases, same treatments".

Now everyone knows the various advantages of TCM's diagnosis and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. After knowing this, you will not feel panic and fear when choosing TCM treatment. TCM treatment will bring you many unexpected effects, and it also has very unique effects when choosing TCM's diagnosis and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. But please note that not all diseases can be treated with TCM. You must first conduct a thorough examination before treating the disease.
