does it work? does it have a place in western society? Could we be wrong about practices we do in western medicine? Like the use of ice on swelling.

Ice on swelling is excellent! I used to be a dancer and a gymnast -I've had over 165 twisted ankles. Yes, that number is correct.
As for Eastern medicine, what I know of it, I love. I have had over 40 acupuncture treatments. They worked great. I don't know enough to use many of the herbal treatments, but I have used some prepared formulas with success.

Y'know, I'm pretty sure when I have a cold, its caused by germs, not by excessive wind blowing on metal element.
I tried to like it - but it doesnt have a very good success rate - even in Chinese medical journals.

it's BS. any postive affects you see are do to lifestyle and diet - not their practices.
