Herb medicine has used more than 3000 years in China. It has some advantasges comparing with Western medicine. The most important point is its less side effect and natural. Do you think it will be a trend that more and more Western medicine will be replaced by herb medicine? Say one's say please.

With all the lawsuits regarding the side effects of so many of the medications now, I think it will gain in popularity here. I try to use herbal remedies when I can. Partly because I hate going to the doctor.

I hope it will. Even the Native Amercians in America used herbs and prayers. China has been doing that too, I know.

In America it is called complementary medicine, while in Germany they prescribe it as part of the norm. The Chinese well they have had it right all along. Slowly systems around the world and the peoples are turning to less toxic and less expensive substances (herbs) to repair their ills. Medicines were originally taken from plants and now chemically made. I know I am using herbs and leaving the doctors to their game.
