WHAT DOCTORS DON’T TELL YOU: REBUILDING THE BODY AFTER CANCER TREATMENT

MAY, 2022

“There are really three phases in Chinese herbal medicine,” says TCM doctor Darin Bunch from Santa Barbara, California. “The first step is symptomatic care. Then comes corrective care, and then prophylactic care. Chinese medicine is very fluid. It moves with people’s symptoms, almost like it dances with them, constantly having this synergistic strengthening effect. It’s very gentle, and yet it has powerful effects in its gentleness.”
