Ben & Biao
In Traditional Chinese Medicine we often look at a patient in terms of Ben and Biao - meaning Root and Branch.
Each symptom can be seen as a different branch of a tree, and underlying issues are the roots. These roots can be the patients health history, physical or mental health issues, their lifestyle, relationships and diet. Treating only the presenting symptoms (branches) will have short term benefits. Addressing the roots is necessary for long term affect.
