Another Perspective of Medicine

As the development of technology and science, it’s a reality that modern medicine has been recognized by majority of people. However, some TCM clinics have survived, and in order to preserve this unique national treasure, several Chinese universities have opened this particular major for students who are interested in and would like to see the medical science in a completely different way. TCM is barely as the same as modern medicine, from basic theories to practice skills. If you decide to learn TCM, then you will feel like entering into a brand new world where everything is so amazing.

Effective Treatment

TCM treatment involves the use of modalities such as acupuncture, herbs, moxibustion and dietary therapy. From the perspective of TCM, all illnesses, is the result of energy imbalance, either in the form of an excess or a deficiency of the body's elemental energies. So if you are suffering from cold, depression, hair loss or insomnia, you should try TCM sometimes, the treatments are more effective than modern medicine. However, if you’ve broken your leg or been severely injured, please don’t hesitate to go to the hospital ER for help.
