Why is Chinese medicine a "wonder" in the world of medicine?

I believe that Chinese medicine is an indispensable treasure in our culture, and an academic field that far exceeded the productivity of its time. In fact, China, Greece, Arabia, Russia and other countries have their own exploration and attempts to traditional medicine. As far as personal experience is concerned, Chinese medicine is indeed effective, but the way of thinking seems to be not quite the same as that of modern medicine and Western medicine. Here are my thoughts on the matter from the following aspects.

The first aspect is that Chinese medicine is a cultural treasure that far exceeds the technology of ancient productivity. In the backward productivity of the ancient times, can not be like the modern as the herbs to the laboratory, with mice to do experiments, for the role of the herbs are the ancients one by one to try and summarize, and now there is still the legend of Shennong's taste of all kinds of herbs. And there was no CT technology, even if modern CT technology can not see the acupuncture points, I do not know how the ancients saw, so that Chinese medicine is far more than the ancient productivity technology of cultural treasures.

The second aspect of Chinese medicine acupuncture points, moxibustion and other therapies is a masterpiece. Chinese medicine has acupoints, acupuncture, gua sha, moxibustion and other external therapies. In the eyes of Westerners may scraping, acupuncture and other therapies on the body is a re-injury. But some of the first aid points, I personally tested very effective, than the effect of painkillers are faster, very amazing.

The third aspect of Chinese medicine is that it is the crystallization of the collision between the traditional cultures of ancient countries. In fact, Chinese medicine is not the only traditional medicine, in ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India have their own traditional medicine, the Western Han Dynasty and the Indian cultural exchanges are more, and therefore also brought the two countries between the medicine of cultural exchanges. In fact, China's ancient Chinese medicine, there is also the integration of ancient medicine in other countries.

The above is my view on why Chinese medicine is called the world's medical "a wonder", personal opinion, hope to adopt.
