So, what are the benefits of a preventative approach versus a reactive one? 🤔
Healthcare can sometimes be perceived as only taking short-term responsive action to treat an illness, disease, or injury. We often see this approach with conventional Western medicine where the treatment takes place after the illness or disease has already occurred. While reactive treatments are a major part of medicine, there are also practitioners who place an emphasis on helping patients prevent illness and disease.
TCM is a form of medicine that focuses on prevention. It is about maintaining the body's natural balance and preventing illness before it occurs. This is achieved through a variety of methods, including the use of acupuncture, herbal therapy, and other TCM modalities. 👍
There are several key advantages to prevention. Prevention can help you feel your best on a daily basis, giving you more energy, vitality, and overall well-being. In addition, by taking proactive measures to maintain the body's natural balance and prevent illness before it occurs, you can save yourself a lot of time, money, and discomfort in the long run. 🙏
