The goal of TCM is to improve and maintain the health of the public. It is designed to allow the body to naturally heal itself. When a person’s health strays from the natural path of health, the TCM doctor puts the patient’s body back on the path. Symptoms of a disease can mask its root. Therefore treating the symptoms of a disease only makes the body feel better, but since the root remains, you have not been healed of it.
Since each person is unique, each illness is unique. Therefore having a range of ways to heal the patient is very important. To determine the root of the disease and to heal the body there is a variety of methods. To diagnose there are 4 things for a doctor to do, and then there are at least 6 methods.
