Why do more and more people don't believe in Chinese medicine for five thousand years?

Many people don't believe in 5000-year-old Chinese medicine because it takes a long time to take effect. Traditional Chinese medicine is actually a particularly magical science. In ancient China, there was no science and technology at that time. So many people actually see a doctor through Chinese medicine. At the beginning of Chinese medicine, many people risked their lives to collect herbs and try them bit by bit. According to the truth, this culture that has been passed down for thousands of years should be well inherited by everyone, but now the situation is just the opposite. Nowadays, more and more people don't believe in Chinese medicine, preferring western medicine.

I personally summed up the following two reasons. One reason is that Chinese medicine pays attention to adjusting some balance in the body. Therefore, the overall process of Chinese medicine will be slower, unlike western medicine. Western medicine is very convenient, that is, you can solve your problems immediately after you find out your own problems, but eating western medicine generally has great side effects and negative effects on other organs of your body. Chinese medicine is different. Although the effect is slow, paying attention to a reconciliation process will make your body gradually adjust.

More and more people don't believe in Chinese medicine, and another reason is that there are many swindlers in Chinese medicine now. Many people will cheat money in the name of a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. Being cheated many times, people naturally no longer trust this Chinese medicine practitioner. In fact, the development of Chinese medicine to this extent has a lot to do with those who walk the rivers and lakes but lie to others that they are old Chinese medicine practitioners.

To sum up, I think Chinese medicine has a history of 5000 years, but now many people don't believe it for two reasons. On the one hand, because the course of treatment of Chinese medicine is relatively long, people have no patience to wait for Chinese medicine to cure themselves, and on the other hand, because many people cheat in the name of Chinese medicine.
