In addition three essences, five elements, six climactic influences, seven
emotional factors, eight principles of treatment, fourteen meridians were
developed to enhance health. These concepts continued to evolve over the
centuries until the collision of Chinese and Western Culture in the
nineteenth century. Today, Chinese Medicine represents a combination of
ideas and methods from earlier times coupled with the findings from modern

laboratory, and clinical trials. Chinese Medicine is a major health care
method in the Peoples Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan,
Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. Its apparent success there has
led it to be adopted, in much smaller measure thus far in the United
States, Canada and Europe.
