Four Gentlemen and Eastern Philosophy
Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy differs from standard Western medical philosophy.
For example, Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on balance and finding the cause of the problem rather than simply masking symptoms with prescription medicines.
Through Eastern examination techniques, Dr. Smith chooses herbal blends to treat your pet’s symptoms. At the same time, the herbs correct the imbalances causing the symptoms.
Four Gentlemen herbal blend is only one of the many TCM herbal blends available for Dr. Smith to choose from based on the results of the Eastern exam.
