Abstract:
Chinese herbal medicine has the double attribute of treatment aiming at symptom and syndrome. The use of formula according to symptoms is the basis of determination of treatment based on differentiation of indications and formula, and the use of formula according to TCM syndrome type is the basis of determination of treatment based on differentiation of symptoms and signs. The determination of treatment based on differentiation of formula and sign is a therapy deriving from experience, but determination of treatment based on differentiation on syndrome and signs a method from theoretical medical science. Both of them are difficult to master. Therefore, it suggests that do not try to master the other unless one of them has being mastered.
