The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have issued numerous glowing endorsements on the effectiveness of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat a wide variety of physical and mental conditions.

- a wide variety of skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, and haleys-haleys
- respiratory issues (chronic and acute) including asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, and bronchitis

Perhaps most importantly, Chinese medicine can not only treat and help prevent the occurrence of symptoms, but it can also promote a deep sense of well-being in body, mind, and spirit. As both of these traditions developed from an agricultural society, they can help us tend to our own well-being as would a skillful farmer.
