TCM Clinic In Chatswood
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been the mainstream medicine in China for over 5000 years and now seen throughout the world as a major contributor to health care. Given that your practitioner has professional training and ample experience, TCM is helpful in managing various ailments. Unlike conventional medicine, TCM is holistic, preventive, natural and non-invasive. Instead of a mask for problems, with TCM we seek to provide genuine healing rather than a temporary mask for problems. However, like potent medicine, TCM carries a risk of side effects in the case of misdiagnosis, misuse of medicinals or poor treatment techniques. Therefore it is vital to seek advice from a professional and registered practitioner before treatment. It is not advisable to buy medicine off the shelf without a proper diagnosis.
