Patient's question:
I've been feeling really uncomfortable and in pain recently. What should be noted in the TCM treatment of connective tissue diseases?Doctor's answer:
Dietary therapy is primarily used as a complementary approach to treating illnesses. If patients appropriately and flexibly utilize dietary measures, it can produce significant therapeutic effects for many difficult conditions. Patients with connective tissue diseases often suffer from various forms of torment due to the illness and long-term medication. Therefore, during the course of the disease, it is advisable to maintain a light diet. On one hand, this helps maintain a good appetite, and on the other hand, it effectively preserves the digestive functions of the spleen and stomach, thereby reducing the body's resistance to disease.
