Is Chinese medicine effective in treating schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia can be said to be a very serious mental illness. It is not only harmful to the schizophrenia patient himself, but sometimes it also threatens the people around him. Therefore, we must pay attention to reasonable and effective treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treats schizophrenia mainly from the inside, by regulating the internal organs.

1. There are many therapies for the treatment of schizophrenia. But generally speaking, it is divided into Western medicine treatment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. As for Western medicine treatment, patients who have received treatment generally know that this therapy can control the disease for a period of time. However, its huge side effects have added to the patients' pain to some extent, and its high recurrence rate has also caused the patients' condition to be in a state of recurring attacks. Therefore, Western medicine treatment is generally not recommended. So, is TCM effective in treating schizophrenia?

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treats schizophrenia mainly from the inside of the human body, treating the human body as an indivisible whole, treating it by regulating the internal organs, and relying on the body's own abilities to deal with the disease. We must see that although schizophrenia manifests itself in abnormalities in thinking, emotion, and behavior, the root cause of the disease lies in the overall disorder of the liver, heart, spleen, and kidneys. In other words, the deep mechanisms that lead to schizophrenia attacks have reached deep into the internal organs. Therefore, simply controlling symptoms or treating the disease by clearing phlegm, opening the orifices, and calming the nerves cannot fundamentally solve the root cause of schizophrenia. For example, the root cutting therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is a relatively authoritative traditional Chinese medicine treatment for mental illness.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine is a natural substance that retains the naturalness and biological activity of its various ingredients. Its ingredients are easily absorbed and utilized, and those that cannot be absorbed can also be successfully excreted from the body. It is decomposed by bacteria outside the body and will not pollute the water environment. General chemical components will accumulate in the bodies of animals or remain in water for a long time.

4. Little or no toxic side effects. The toxicity of toxic Chinese medicine will be reduced or disappear after proper processing. By formulating and combining the ingredients and utilizing the interactions between Chinese medicines, the efficacy of Chinese medicines in preventing and curing diseases is enhanced, and their toxic side effects are weakened or reduced. So far, medical research has never found any problem of drug resistance in Chinese herbal medicines.
