Another article about the growing acceptance of herbal treatments:
“Chen is one of a growing number of practitioners, many of them Chinese, who are treating illness with herbal medicine, a centuries-old system that focuses on naturally strengthening the body as a whole to fight disease.
In Hawaii, where herbalists ran prosperous practices a century before anyone had ever heard of managed care or preferred providers, nontraditional treatments were widely accepted, especially in Asian communities. Now, a growing number of people of all ethnicities are using herbal medicines, creating brisk business for Hawaii’s herbalists and helping to dispel criticism that alternative medicine is offbeat and ineffective.”
