The common people's understanding of Chinese medicine is outrageously wrong. If Chinese medicine weren't medicine, it wouldn't be called medicine. All Chinese doctors need to pass certification exams through healthcare departments to practice, just like obtaining a medical practitioner's certificate.
Some Chinese medicine, once administered, can be more potent than Western medicine. Medicine, seven parts poison.
Chinese medicine is profound and diverse, with countless varieties. All of these require professional Chinese doctors to study diligently and research for many years. Fraudsters outside flaunt themselves and spout "royal secret recipes" to deceive the public who doesn't understand Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine doesn't have secret recipes, only tested formulas. What is a tested formula? Like Western medicine, it's derived from clinical trials where many doctors have used it on specific diseases to obtain effective data, and then categorize the medication schemes.
