Western medicine and science remains extremely sceptical and unwilling or unable to absorb or recognise what Chinese medicine can offer.Īll these ancient concepts will no doubt be explained in scientific terms one day. Our so-called ‘Western’ Medicine is not so open … Western understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and so on were incorporated with ease. What’s more, Chinese medicine quickly embraced Western science and Western medicine and its medications as another useful tool in the armoury for Chinese physicians. Pseudoscience or not, it’s been in continuous use and evolution for millennia, which is rather more than can be said of Western Science – hardly 250 years old. Western Science describes traditional Chinese medicine theory as a pseudoscience, which is probably true if only because nobody has had the time or energy to prove otherwise. Underlying them may well be another more comprehensive theory or pattern, which nobody has yet noticed, even after some 3000 years. The different theories fit together and complement one another.

Although the above listed pages include a lot, actually we’ve hardly started! There are many other less well-known acupuncture theories and treatment methods that are very effective.
