TCM emphasizes tremendously on disease prevention because the ancient healers believed that once body is ill, the recovery rate is never one hundred percent which leads to the process of aging. In addition, one ailment leads to another because the body is a network that all parts are closely connected and related. This declining of recovery rate causes aging. By the prevention of declining we prevent aging and live a life full of zest.
