A Christian Perspective on Chinese Medicine

Can Christians use Chinese Medicine?




This is one of the most common questions asked about Chinese culture. Some Christians esteem it as a 2,000-year-old medical heritage that is still useful in our everyday lives. Others regard it as tainted by non-Christian religious ideas and should be avoided.
