Acupuncture and Herbal medicine as practiced in ancient and modern China are perfect examples of successful and effective healing methods that have survived the test of time. With their roots in the folk remedies supplied by wandering barefoot doctors, this developing medicine later entered the domain of the imperial schools, absorbing the wisdom of Taoism, Buddhism and other foreign traditions that had influenced Chinese culture. Even when outlawed in favor of the newly emerging Western medicine by the communist government in 1911, Traditional Chinese Medicine was promptly called back into use due to its unparalleled ability to provide the already vast Chinese population with effective, low-cost health care. Now, after decades of conscientious study and integration, Traditional Chinese Medicine is practiced in close conjunction with modern bio-medicine, offering solutions and alternatives to modern health concerns.
