Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with its rich history spanning thousands of years, is making significant strides in Mexico's healthcare landscape. Today, TCM techniques such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and tai chi are increasingly popular, finding their way into clinics and wellness centers across almost every Mexican city.
One of the most notable examples is the renowned post-graduate acupuncture school located in Mexico City. As one of the oldest institutions of its kind outside of China, this school attracts students and practitioners eager to integrate ancient Eastern practices with contemporary medical approaches.
CGTN's Franc Contreras visited the school to explore how TCM is being adapted to meet the needs of Mexican society. The fusion of traditional wisdom and modern science not only offers diverse treatment options but also promotes a holistic approach to health and well-being.
This growing acceptance of TCM reflects a broader global trend towards embracing diverse medical traditions. In Mexico, the integration of Eastern and Western medicine is paving the way for innovative healthcare solutions that cater to a wide range of health concerns.
