Chinese Medicine and Health Care

What is Chinese medicine? What's the difference between Chinese medicine and the normal medicine we receive?

In our culture, there are two types of medicine: Chinese and Western. Western medicine is made up of antibiotics, ibuprofen, flu shots, etc. They're the modern medicine and care you receive from a hospital. Chinese medicine is comprised of herbal medicine from natural ingredients, acupuncture, moxibustion, and other treatment for chronic illnesses and chronic problems that are not cured by modern medicine.

Although Western medicine is proved to be scientifically useful, Chinese medicine has been used for literally thousands of years and is sometimes believed to be a better and a more natural cure to diseases.
