Although it has been almost two years since COVID-19 first broke out, many still struggle with post-COVID conditions, also known as “long COVID.” Recently, Japanese doctors have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be used to treat both COVID-19 and long COVID.
Ken Ritsugaku is a TCM physician, a member of the Japan Society for Oriental Medicine, and Director of Japanese and Chinese Medicine at Kurashiki Heisei Hospital. He told The Epoch Times that long COVID symptoms include fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, sleep problems, difficulty thinking or concentrating, and depression or anxiety, which interfere with patients’ daily lives.
