TCM can help conquer almost any illness or disease. The TCM diagnosis identifies the specific “pattern of disharmony” in the patient, which is often the root, or cause of the problem. Every person has a distinct pattern. If several patients have the same illness, for example, migraine headaches, the reasons behind the headaches are unique to each patient. Dr. Lin has successfully treated many patients with migraines and because of each patient’s unique pattern of disharmony, the treatments and Chinese herbs used in each case were rarely identical.

Once the root of the illness is eradicated by treatment, the body and mind restores its’ balance and proper function. Thus, the body can heal itself naturally.

TCM and Western medicine can work cooperatively. TCM complements many other types of treatment by creating the environment for quicker and accelerated healing. In China, it is common to seek TCM care after a major trauma (such as an automobile accident) to restore the body’s balance and rejuvenate the mind.
