Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine exist as historical counterparts intersecting often and combining to provide medicine that philosophically endows the basic principle of yin/yang. Acupuncture, using needles to puncture the skin to affect the internal processes of the body is balanced by the working of Chinese herbal medicine which improves health from the inside-out. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history of evidence of effective treatment for diseases that can be a favorable alternative to modern medical interventions and drugs.
