I made an appointment with a specialist at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine due to a long history of chronic eczema. The physician demonstrated a high level of professionalism in diagnosis and treatment, prescribing a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula based on syndrome differentiation. During the consultation, the physician was amiable and patient, taking the time to review my medical history, which provided a sense of comfort. After two weeks of treatment, the symptoms of skin itching were significantly alleviated, and the skin lesions began to heal. Current indicators are gradually returning to normal levels. The efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is truly evident. I am very grateful for the physician's meticulous care.
