Throughout an informal chat with a dentist friend, we tend to had a difference in opinion on the efficacies of Western Drugs and Traditional Chinese Medicine (or "TCM" as it's more popularly known). Neither will she bring herself to concur on my suggestion that Chinese Astrology studies like Bazi (or four Pillars) nor are Zi Wei Dou Shu (ZWDS) useful towards maintaining good health.
To most folks, Western Medicine is scientific, a lot of widely accepted and belongs to the most stream tools toward health and wellness. Hence, it's the defector choice for them. While I have utmost respect for the advancement Western Medicine have made till nowadays, I have come across enough cases that produces me convinced that TCM is that the superior alternative to Western Medication when it comes to achieving good health. I will say TCM is additional effective at keeping folks in the pink of health whereas Western Medication is better in treating sick people. When folks are severely unwell, naturally Western Drugs is the higher selection of treatment.
What is my basis for concluding so? Western drugs treats symptoms but do not get to the foundation of the problem. For somebody suffering from headache they typically prescribe pain killers however falls in need of addressing the $64000 cause of the headaches. When a patient has fever, generally they ask the patient to dip in cold water or keep in cold air-conditioned rooms to combat the rising temperature. Proponent of Western Medicine could challenge me to mention why make a fuss when the illness is "cured". I will say the symptoms may be cured however the root explanation for the illness is just subdued. The result of which could be a weaker health constitution in the long term.

TCM is terribly completely different because it seeks to identify the underlying health deficiencies. TCM acknowledge that the body consists of organs that are all interlinked and their yin & yang composition determines how the energy flows at intervals the organs of the body. TCM so goes right to the foundation of the health downside instead of just treating the symptoms. Rome is not designed in an exceedingly day, and neither should we expect our health issues to be fully cured by a TCM practitioner inside a brief amount of time. For people who have developed to a critically late stage of diseases, I still advocate they depend on Western Medication as the short term cure but use TCM as the long run fallback solution.
When do Bazi and ZWDS return into play? They hold the key towards a comprehensive diagnosis of the health drawback and medical prescription. I'm a firm believer of the adage that "prevention is best than cure". Bazi and ZWDS will be able to identify the inherent health deficiency and medical downside of a person even manner before the symptoms or the illness sets in. They will additionally help to identify the Fengshui aspects of the house or environment that the person lives in that can stop such sicknesses from setting in. An understanding of Bazi and ZWDS also holds the key to prescription of a comprehensive cure. This is because the patient could not articulate the medical problem clearly enough and a good cure can solely be achieved when the TCM practitioner understands how the energy flows at intervals the organs and their yin & yang predisposition.
Opponents could still claim that I am bigoted against Western Medicine. In my next article, I will share a few examples of how Western Medicine failed or how TCM + understanding of Bazi/ZWDS cured a downside that was not satisfactorily resolved by Western Medicine.
