It's important to note that TCM outcomes vary by individual, and treatment should be conducted under the guidance of licensed practitioners.
"If disease is like a leaking roof: Western medicine mops the floor (controls symptoms). TCM finds and repairs the crack in the roof (eliminates the cause). For chronic, recurring problems, fixing the source is the lasting solution."
