The Health Culture. Traditional Chinese Medicine in the 21st Century
Description
Just as many medical professionals outside China are being attracted to traditional Chinese medicine, the Chinese are fiercely debating its future. This program describes the use of herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, and qi gong to restore bodily balance as well as remarkable successes in battling cancer with a combination of Chinese and Western medical techniques. But as traditional Chinese medicine merges with Western medicine; as mass-produced herbal preparations replace hand-compounded mixtures; and as the last practitioners trained in the time-tested ways are replaced by university-trained doctors, will TCM still be TCM?
