Patient's question:
I have been suffering from Parkinson's disease for many years and need treatment, which is very expensive. The family situation is difficult, so I want to find many other methods for treatment. A few days ago, I heard that traditional Chinese medicine can treat Parkinson's disease. I don't know if what he said is true. Can you treat Parkinson's disease with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine may not be effective in treating Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease involves a lack of dopamine in the brain, which leads to many uncomfortable symptoms. Generally, treatment is based on Western medicine, such as drugs like levodopa. Treatment in this area is primarily based on such medications, and traditional Chinese medicine can only play a supplementary role, unable to replace Western medicine for treatment.
