In eastern medicine, it's all based on prevention. You go to your doctor when you feel good. All western medicine is based on therapy. And i don't think a lot of eastern medicines are too effective in fixing big, blown up, chronic diseases that have been going on for years and years and years in some one's body. The whole point is to not lose the balance to begin with. It's the constantly staying in homeostasis. We can use this eastern medicine as way to not get sick, and use western medicine for when you're really sick.
