There are many differences between the types of medications that are being offered by Western and Chinese culture. When doctors are trying to diagnose people through Western standards, they would usually look at the vitals of people before they can come up with potential solutions.
Chinese traditional doctors would look at people holistically before trying to make a diagnosis. Western medications will be composed of different chemicals that are supposed to react to the body in the right way while Chinese medicines will be composed of various herbs, roots, and plants that are meant to be very natural for the body’s organs.
