Is TCM slow working?
Not necessary. With the right TCM herb or acupuncture, many illnesses can be improved instantly. Patients with problems such as retinitis central artery blockage can see light with the first acupuncture treatment. Other problems like certain headaches or diarrheas can be relieved within the first half-hour after TCM intake. For chronic diseases, some patients give positive responses in the first month during treatments. Usually, after recovery obtained, a slightly longer period of treatment is required for health reinforcement. After this period is over, with the doctors personalized advice, the patient will only need to keep a healthy diet and plenty of rest.
