#18 - Traditional Chinese Medicine
from Safety Last · host Stanley Ching
One single question defines the entire field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and that is whether or not it is real or fake. Does sticking needles in certain areas of your body, drinking certain herbs or even channeling one's "qi" (氣) actually help improve one's health? This is a certain that has always interested me, one of hand, I have been culturally exposed to Chinese medicinal practices, on the other hand, I've equally absorbed the Western skepticism about it. So, I have brought on Cole, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine who insists that this field of knowledge is everywhere just as scientific and documentable as Western medicine. Have a listen, and keep an open mind.
