It is quite unfortunate that miff between traditional Chinese medication system and western medication system has erupted. Where this miff has endangered the existence of centuries old Chinese medication system, at the same time it has raised question on the reliability of this old medication system too.
This is right that ancient Chinese medication system is more based on assumptions than on facts but it doesn’t mean that it has no use today. We should not forget that for centuries ancient Chinese medication system has been serving suffering human beings.
I firmly believe that instead of making the trench lying between ancient Chinese medication system and western medication system deeper, it would be far better if we make efforts to dovetail the positive aspects of both these medication systems.
