Unexplained & Others
At Eastern Medicine Center, we often see patients who come to us without a clear diagnosis. Despite undergoing extensive testing—whether it’s bloodwork, X-rays, or CT scans—they are told everything is normal. But if you’re experiencing persistent symptoms, your body is signaling that something isn’t right.
It’s important to understand that all forms of medicine, including Western, homeopathic, and others, have their limitations. When conventional methods fail to provide answers, it’s crucial to listen to what your body is telling you. Unexplained symptoms are often indicators of underlying imbalances within your internal organs, and this is where Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) shines.
In TCM, we don’t rely solely on imaging or lab results. Instead, we focus on your overall health, paying close attention to your symptoms and uncovering their root causes to make a diagnosis.
Case Study: Patient with Unexplained Burning Sensations
One of our patients came to us after experiencing constant burning and itching sensations beneath her skin. She had visited multiple doctors, but none could pinpoint the issue despite performing extensive tests on her spinal fluid, X-rays, and bloodwork.
When she visited Dr. Liu, she observed that her symptoms were likely due to an excess of heat in her upper body, which was evident from her red tongue and flushed face. Meanwhile, her lower body showed poor circulation—her feet and legs were cold. Dr. Liu diagnosed her with an imbalance in blood flow and heat retention. To address this, she created a custom herbal formula to detoxify her blood and restore balance.
After one week of taking the powdered herbs, the patient saw no significant improvement, but Dr. Liu encouraged her to continue. After two weeks, she noticed a 50% reduction in her symptoms—something that no other doctors had been able to achieve.
Patience and Consistency with Herbal Treatments
Herbal treatments work gradually, and it’s essential to be consistent and patient as your body takes the time to heal. Unlike quick fixes, herbal remedies target the root causes of illness and restore balance to the body, making long-term recovery possible.
