Treatment for COVID-19 and CKD

TCM considers whether there is a problem with the individual itself and whether it will cause the virus to easily invade into the body. In other words, there are essential differences between Chinese and Western medicine in understanding viruses. When a patient is in front of you, western medicine is to extract the virus from the patient to study, and then find a treatment to kill the virus. And traditional Chinese medicine is to see what symptoms you have after your illness. According to your symptoms, you can see which prescription and which Decoction should be used to eliminate your symptoms. When symptoms disappear, TCM doesn't care if virus is still there. In short, it is to keep the positive Qi in body, and then evil Qi is hard to approach! The positive Qi in body can not only keep coronavirus far away, but also fight against kidney disease.
