How do I seek treatment from a Chinese medicine practitioner?
The basic theory of Chinese medicine is the holistic view, which means that all discomforts and all symptoms of the human body are related and may be caused by one or two main reasons. If we can find this major contradiction and prescribe the right medicine, then the problems of the whole body will be solved. Therefore, when you visit a Chinese medicine hospital or a Chinese medicine clinic, you do not have to register for several departments at the same time. You have to focus on one department for your main problem, but describe to the doctor in detail the obvious discomfort symptoms of the whole body, so that the doctor can make a comprehensive judgement, which is more effective than if you look at the local area alone. Don’t think that a certain symptom is not related to this part of the body and leave it alone, a real Chinese medicine practitioner is very concerned about the patient’s whole body symptoms.
