Traditional Chinese Medicine Treats the Root Cause, While Western Medicine Treats the Symptoms

Many chronic disease patients are diagnosed by Western medicine as having autoimmune diseases or incurable conditions, leaving them dependent on lifelong medication. However, the root cause of their illness is often prolonged separation from natural environments, a lack of fresh air, sunlight, and clean water, which leads to an imbalance in the body and the collapse of the immune system.

• Western Medicine Approach: Medication controls symptoms but does not address the root cause. Long-term medication use not only burdens the liver and kidneys but may also lead to more side effects.

• Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach: Emphasizes returning to nature, aligning with the balance of yin and yang, and adjusting the body’s internal environment to restore self-healing abilities, allowing diseases to naturally disappear.

You Are Your Own Best Doctor

The essence of health lies in following nature, adjusting one’s lifestyle, and allowing the body to return to balance. Air, sunlight, and water may seem simple, but they are the fundamental pillars of health. Many so-called “incurable diseases” are not truly untreatable but arise because patients have become disconnected from nature’s nourishment. By regaining a proper understanding and utilization of air, sunlight, and water, many chronic illnesses can be improved through the body’s own self-repair mechanisms.

Conclusion

“I am air, I am light, I am water, drifting and floating.”

This meditation mantra is not only a guiding principle for practice but also a fundamental law of health. Modern people suffer from diseases primarily because they have violated this natural order. Traditional Chinese medicine treats the root cause, aligning with nature and enabling natural recovery, while Western medicine treats symptoms, relying on medication for life without true healing.

True health requires a return to the source, aligning with nature, and allowing the body to become its own best doctor.
