An increasing number of health insurance companies are covering alternative treatments, including acupuncture and Chinese herbs:
“Used by more than a third of Americans, alternative medicine is slowly becoming accepted by the healthcare establishment.
A growing number of health insurers are recognizing this $30 billion industry, mostly by offering discounts for acupuncture, nutritional counseling, mind-body practices like biofeedback and other complementary or alternative forms of care.”

“”Complementary medicine is going mainstream quickly,” says Santiago Leon, a Miami health insurance broker who has studied the field extensively. “Part of the impulse is therapeutic. Part of it is economic.”
Studies show some treatments — particularly acupuncture and some mind-body therapies — work as well or better than traditional medicine, and they are frequently much cheaper.”

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is being promoted as a world cultural heritage, which could help it survive the modern age:
“The State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine is working to submit a bid to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to list traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as world intangible cultural heritage.
The effort is partly aimed at easing TCM doctors’ worries. They are seeing the growth of their ancient practice become stymied.
“Intangible cultural heritage” is defined by the UNESCO as the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge and skills that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage.
“If it turns into a successful bid, the world cultural heritage status of TCM will help ensure the preservation of its original philosophical and physiological principles,” said Lu Jiage, who manages a TCM clinic in Beijing he inherited from his father.”
