Throughout history, human understanding has never fully aligned with truth, only approached it. Whether it is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or modern medicine, both contain essences and dross. I do not blindly believe in either TCM or modern medicine, but uphold rationality above all. For patients, any method that can thoroughly cure their suffering is acceptable, and the same applies to me. My approach to TCM slightly differs from the traditional one, as it integrates multidisciplinary knowledge, modern medicine, and the essence of traditional TCM to provide the simplest, most affordable, and beneficial solutions for patients.
"Yao" (藥) is the key, referring to panacea or solution; "Zi" (子) represents the crucial point. In the game of Go, what players pursue is the most divine move amidst the ever-changing board. In medicine, what practitioners pursue is to devise the best treatment principles and prescriptions amidst the ever-changing disease mechanisms. The pieces already placed on the board correspond to the patient's various symptoms. Behind these pieces or symptoms lie countless inevitabilities and possibilities. Only those with true insight can perceive the best path and the best solution. Language and words are the first line of medicine, entering the brain directly through the eyes and ears, healing the mind. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are the second line of medicine, entering through the mouth and accepted by the body, healing the body. Extreme arguments are like potent medicine, treating severe illnesses by using extremes to counteract extremes, aiming to restore balance. Although physicians can guide patients to health, the patient's own efforts and cooperation are also crucial. It is recommended to first browse the introduction and comparison of TCM and modern medicine on this site, as it will greatly assist in the treatment process. The general principle of treatment is to restore the inherent balance of body and mind, rather than blindly suppressing surface symptoms. The ultimate goal is to free patients from the control of modern medicine. For various lifestyle diseases, chronic illnesses, and rare conditions, the earlier TCM is applied, the higher the chance of a complete cure. In the vast sea of humanity, the opportunity to be treated by me depends on fate. There are no incurable diseases in the world, but there are incurable prescriptions and methods. In this realm of illusions, I wish that all who encounter me may be freed from suffering, and that I may treat every patient as if they were my own.
