Is the theory of traditional Chinese medicine really that magical? What kind of practice is the so-called five elements theory based on?

Traditional Chinese medicine used to be regarded as superstition, but now it is gone. Chinese medicine is indeed a science. The so-called theory of yin-yang and five elements is also related to the four pillars and eight characters. Based on long-term practical experience, it was once regarded as superstition.

Western medicine is developed, treating people as material functions and forgetting the "soul". Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, it can really solve the immediate problems, with quick effect, but with great side effects. Chinese medicine is different. It pays attention to treatment, regulation and nutrition, eradicates diseases and strengthens resistance. The pedigree of TCM was not formed overnight. It is based on thousands of years of practical experience, and each drug has been tested countless times before reaching a conclusion after confirming its effect.

At present, there are many medical methods that cannot be scientifically explained, but they are effective. For example, Sichuan willow bark was used as an antipyretic in ancient times, and it was not until later that it was learned from chemical analysis that it did contain modern chemical drugs and was effective in reducing fever.
