    Treating diseases with traditional Chinese medicine is the balance of all parties. The Five Elements doctrine emphasizes that there must be a relatively dynamic balance in multilateral relations, and a loss of balance is a disease. It is necessary to find the imbalance point in multilateral relations, and then to adjust and treat it in a targeted manner to bring it to balance. Straightening out such a complicated relationship is like taking a soldier to fight a war. It is necessary to analyze the various aspects of interest. Therefore, TCM has the saying that "use medicine as soldiers."
