The Web That Has No Weaver

Ted J. Kaptchuk

Unlike Western medicine, which tends to diagnose and treat individual diseases, Chinese medicine takes a different approach. It integrates a patient's symptoms and signs into an overall pattern of imbalance. This holistic method aims to restore balance and harmony to the patient's body, rather than focusing solely on treating specific ailments.
