The latter, usually belligerent to accept the validity of other conceptions which do not form the medicine which fit to its parameters, has doubted the effectiveness of Chinese Medicine throughout the history and has questioned many of its approaches. However, Chinese Medicine not only has won importance through the years and because of the medical and scientific advances, in areas where it had been questioned without facing direct hostility in the past, but also has proved its effectiveness by means of scientific evidence, demonstrating that Chinese Medicine is an effective and safe medicine which departs from different and differentiated as well as differentiating rules than those related to conventional Western medicine.

A modern integrative medicine of traditional Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine will become a major trend, there will be more people coming in integrative medicine research and practice. |
