BEIJING, March 24 (Xinhua) -- Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a popular rehabilitation means in China with proven results, can help recovered coronavirus patients in their rehabilitation, a health expert said Tuesday.
A thorough solution to symptoms of many recovered coronavirus patients, including fatigue, poor appetite, panic, shortness of breath, insomnia, and depression, could be achieved with the help of TCM, said Wang Rongbing, a doctor with the department of integrating Western medicine and TCM, Beijing Ditan Hospital.
"TCM takes a holistic approach in treating diseases," Wang told a press conference given by the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism against coronavirus.
A number of rehabilitation needs of recovered coronavirus patients can be met through TCM interventions, such as diet adjustments, acupuncture, moxibustion and massages, Wang said.
The application of TCM differential treatment methods can facilitate the resolution of pneumonia, she added. Enditem
