People often go to the doctor to treat localized symptoms. In these cases, they often want a specific remedy or treatment just for that discomfort, in the area where it manifests itself.
The problem is that localized symptoms are often caused, maintained or aggravated by systemic factors. These factors act on the whole organism and often manifest themselves in a more significant way far from the place where the patient wants more attention.
For example, that vaginal discharge that can be caused or worsened by the regular intake of certain foods, or that set of inflammations (sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and infections in general) caused or worsened by poorly treated hypothyroidism. Or constant joint pain because the blood is inflamed, or frequent headaches due to stress and even lack of water or inadequate breathing. Or difficulty losing weight and tiredness due to poor sleep...
I could list countless examples here, but I think you get the idea: often, the relief you're looking for lies in improving the functioning of your body as a whole. Looking only for a quick fix is a mistake and can lead to problems.
By correcting this, you will see most of your health improve significantly.
