The role of traditional Chinese medicine Chuanxiong

When it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, people will have different opinions. Some people think that traditional Chinese medicine is too slow in treating diseases, or even has no obvious effect, so they do not agree with some of the statements in traditional Chinese medicine. Some people also believe that Chinese medicine is superior to Western medicine because it has fewer side effects and is unmatched in its effectiveness in treating some difficult and complicated diseases that Western medicine cannot match. In fact, there are some medicines that coexist in both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and Chuanxiong is one of them.
