Is traditional chinese medicine effective ?
Question:
Answers:
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicines have been developed by empirical methods through hundreds of generations of learned and observant physicians. Acupuncture has been more "proven" than any form of therapy on the planet. It's like wondering if kites really fly. You don't need an aeronautical engineer to explain why they fly. If they did not fly, people would not have been lying to children for the past 4000-5000 years. Same for Acupuncture. Chinese Herbal Medicine in this country usually follows general recipes that were listed in a Book called A Summary of Commonly used Effective Remedies written in about 250 BC. Variations on these Remedies are individualized for each patient by trained Physicians, many of whom, in the USA, are not M.D.'s or Chiropractors. There is a National Board Certification License and sometimes separate State Licenses required, and persons passing these tests can be considered Primary Care Physicians just like MD's. There is NO evidence of a properly prescribed Chinese Herbal Formula EVER being recalled due to negative side effects which did not show up in the clinical trials, as is the case with an astonishing number or modern chemical medicines. The trials for Herbal Medicines have taken place over the last 2000 years' use with everyday people under the scrutiny of trained physicians
I have found Chinese medicine to be extremely effective.
I have taken it for intestinal yeast and heart support. It is excellent. It was prescribed by my accupuncturist.
It can be very effective, if you have someone who has been trained as a, Chinese herbalist.
It can also be lethal leaving you sicker if you just go picking Chinese herbs, knowing nothing about what your buying.
i believe so, but keep n mind, if a condition is serious or 'grave', use it in along with traditional medicines. chinese medicine is great for things like chronic pain, ect...but be very careful and be sure the place/person your getting your remedies from is well trained.
