Your Question changes sides in mid Sentence . . . . . .
Therefore Most people have answered as if you were questioning western medicine ... seems to me you are asking about your interest in TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine, that uses Herbs, acupuncture , etc. and an approach that concentrates on strengthening the natural body functions and immunity rather than fighting symptoms as the modern western approach does.
TCM has a history that goes back more than 2000 years, that adds up to a lot of experience.
Not too many years ago It was considered Quackery to talk about Acupuncture in the west , at the same time Chinese Doctors were performing open heart surgery using acupuncture anesthesia.
Most people believe what they are told to believe , not the evidence.
This is an example of a Cultural Prejudice in action , so when you know that , you can go beyond in your personal quest for truth .
Dare to follow your intuition , Truth, sometimes has to be dug up, an area for the stout hearted only.Health Question & Answer
