Chinese medicine is an ancient tradition that includes many different techniques. It is easy to forget that Chinese medicine relies
on a user's skill; not everyone is as good as he or she may wish, but when highly skilled doctors perform it, results can be great.
Disciplines include:
 針灸 Zhenjiu - Acupuncture and Moxibustion
- 氣功 Qigong
- 接骨 Jiegu - Bonesetting
- 醫藥 Yiyao - Herbal Medicine
- 點穴 Dianxue - Pressure Points
- 推拿 Tuina - Massage
Strangely, I have never really seen lists of famous Chinese medicine practitioners - so I made a small one here. All listed here were taught
in the old ways, through traditional methods, and not at modernized schools or universities. Unfortunately, modernization and regulation
does not always result in better ways.
- 賀普仁 He Puren - Famous Beijing Acupuncturist, disciple of 牛澤華 Niu Zehua.
- 楊甲三 Yang Jiasan - Famous late Shanghai Acupuncturist
