Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine exist as historical counterparts that often intersect and combine to provide medicine that philosophically embodies the basic principle of yin/yang. Acupuncture, which involves the use of needles to puncture the skin and affect the body’s internal processes, is balanced by the therapeutic effects of herbal medicine, which improves health from the inside out. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history of evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating diseases, which can serve as a favorable alternative to modern medical interventions and pharmaceuticals.
