In the modern era when science is in full swing, why is Chinese medicine still popular?

In the long history of ancient China, we all know that China has amazed the world with its four great inventions of papermaking, printing, gunpowder, and compass. In fact, in addition to these four achievements, ancient China has many other great achievements, such as the magnificent Great Wall of China, the magnificent Forbidden City, and the highly practical traditional Chinese medicine, and so on. Today, I am here to discuss with you why Chinese medicine can be in the long history, and even now the modern era of Western medicine is still standing.

I, Chinese medicine has a long history

Unlike the short history of the existence of Western medicine, Chinese medicine can be said to have a long history. The earliest can be traced back to the primitive society, the working people accidentally discovered the magical effects of Chinese herbs. Then the famous doctor Hua Tuo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his wonderful hands returned to life, leaving a deep impression on China and even the world with his superb medical skills. Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty wrote the "Compendium of Materia Medica", even if it is put into the modern society also has a pivotal position.

Two, the role of Chinese medicine

As a major branch of medicine, Chinese medicine plays a considerable role. In the past, Western medicine is not developed, the lack of modern medical conditions and equipment, in our country has always been the Chinese medicine method of treatment. Even now, many hospitals have Chinese medicine department, there are many diseases through the Western medicine can not be cured, the use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment approach, has a fast-acting, high effect.

Three, Chinese medicine is absolutely cost-effective

Now many people complain that they can't afford to get sick, can't afford to see a doctor, in fact, this sentence is mainly for the high cost of treatment of Western medicine, because Western medicine is generally made of drugs, Western medicine need specific instruments and equipment for examination, all of these lead to relatively high diagnostic and examination fees. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, uses more of a look-and-see approach, and many experienced Chinese medicine teachers are able to give accurate treatment plans by means of communicating with the patient and observing the patient's signs and symptoms. And the price of Chinese herbs is relatively low, sometimes the cost of a course of treatment is no more than the cost of a single examination in Western medicine.

Chinese medicine is the treasure of traditional Chinese culture, we must protect this culture and carry it forward.
