TCM in Treatment and Recovery
中医在治疗与康复中的角色
In China, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is not an alternative to Western medicine—it works alongside it. Many patients receive TCM during or after treatment to reduce side effects, support the immune system, and improve quality of life.
TCM doctors prescribe personalized herbal formulas based on the patient’s condition, constitution, and treatment stage. They do not replace surgery or medication. Instead, they help the body endure treatment and recover faster.
Common goals of TCM support include:
- Reducing fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite
- Supporting immune function and blood cell recovery
- Improving sleep and emotional well-being
- Helping the body regain strength after surgery or illness
