Chinese Medicines: How Effective Are They?

Over the past couple of decades, Chinese medicine has been catapulted from the back alleys of Chinatown to the medical ‘mainstream’ in Australia. From ancient herbal medicines to ‘unheard’ therapeutic practices, traditional Chinese medicine have come a long way.


With time and awareness, the popularity of this oriental medicine practice have gained momentum as reputed clinics are sprouting in many parts of Australia. So, you might consider treating that gout of yours by consulting a Chinese medical doctor, eh?      

Moreover, Chinese medicine is now being treated as an alternative to modern medicine. Its diagnosis and style of treatment brings about a more holistic approach of treating everyday maladies.

Be it issues related to women’s health to sexual problems or diseases of the aged – Chinese clinics is witnessing an increased footfall every year. This is mainly due to the approach of diagnosing and treating a symptom. While the modern medicinal forms like allopath relies on chemical drugs, traditional Chinese medicine vastly relies on ancient ways of extracting the ‘goodness’ from herbs.      
Further, they divert from common way of treatment where the root cause of problem is often neglected. Medicines are prescribed to alleviate a patient’s temporary medical condition, instead of focusing on the root cause of it. Chinese medical doctors does just that! 

They have a unique way of linking symptoms to a health condition that might seem completely unrelated. Crazy, huh? Eh, not so much! Chinese medical practitioners are taught in the ancient forms of medicine and healing methods. So, most of the Chinese medicines might not be found in a regular drug store.

But, their properties are no doubt potent. Some of the medicines use rare metals, never-heard-of herbs, and weird animal parts among others. The motive is to bring about a 360-degree approach of providing a remedy.

Going to a Chinese medical doctor this week, then?
