For adenomyosis, the dialectical treatment of herbal medicine and the theory of Western medicine are two different concepts. Herbal medicine engages an integrated analysis of the formation of the disease. It aims to remove the root cause of disease and use herbal medicine with effective combinations to achieve the purpose of treatment. It treats both the symptoms and the root cause of the disease with the advantages of fewer side effects and long-lasting therapeutic effects.

 

Western medicine, in contrast, is concerned with the theory of treating the abstract surface. It treats the head when it headaches and the foot when it hurts. In treating adenomyosis, for example, Western medicine uses hormonal drugs to control the symptoms artificially. Once used, it will work. But when not used, the initial signs are restored. 

 

After the patient has taken the drugs many times, it is easy to produce harm to the organs of the body. Adenomyosis symptoms are often significantly improved or controlled, but other organs are induced to develop another disease due to the repeated application of hormones. In the long run, it is harmful to the patient's body.
