Why is it difficult for Chinese medicine to be generally accepted?

Traditional Chinese medicine is questioned, both internally and externally.

Internal cause: 1, the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine has a serious conflict with modern mainstream science.

2, Chinese medicine testing is the foundation, not relying on instruments, relying on people, four diagnosis, listening and asking. Whether the diagnosis can be made accurately depends on the experience and level of doctors.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine mostly comes from underground plants or raised animals. Compared with tablets and capsules of western medicine, boiling in a large pot makes people feel less credible.

4. Zhang Wuben and others kill people for money under the guise of Chinese medicine.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine comes from China's traditional philosophy. Witchcraft and Taoism also come from China's traditional philosophy. It is easy to think that Chinese medicine is on the same level as witchcraft and Taoism.

External factors 1, the spread of western science in China, changed our view of the world from the ideological understanding. People are more willing to believe what they can see and say clearly.

2. Some patients are really ineffective after Chinese medicine treatment, or the more they are treated, the more serious they become. Instead, I use my own understanding of Chinese medicine to criticize Chinese medicine, which in turn affects people around me.

3. Some people who have learned some western scientific research thinking question Chinese medicine with limited knowledge, thus affecting people around them.

4. Foreign forces infiltrated, paid to raise a batch of "black Chinese medicine practitioners", and attacked them online, discrediting Chinese medicine everywhere, thus affecting the understanding of the majority of netizens.

Outlook 1。 At present, acupuncture is widely accepted by ordinary people in Europe and America, and it is the vanguard of Chinese medicine to the world.

2. Many foreign research institutions are studying Chinese medicine. Phytochemistry, in particular, is a major research direction of new drugs for natural products. Artemisinin from Tu Youyou is by no means the last discovery.

3, Chinese medicine, in this epidemic, played a key role, which is to speak with a lot of data, not by mouth. This provides a basis for everyone to re-understand Chinese medicine.

The future development of TCM must be combined with western science. Because western science is easier to innovate in cognitive ability and means, it is helpful for Chinese medicine to improve and correct theory and understanding.

Chinese medicine will eventually be widely accepted by everyone, because its effectiveness does exist, and the vast number of scientific researchers are also making unremitting efforts for the development of Chinese medicine.
