Chinese medicine boasts a rich history that has been further intricate by its integration with Western biomedicine. The legitimization of Chinese medicine in biomedicine-dominated health systems, such as that in Hong Kong, has presented significant challenges. This anthology of articles delves into pertinent social issues surrounding various Chinese medicine treatments, including acupuncture and medicinal oils, as well as provides insight into practitioner licensing and public perception.
Each chapter addresses a topic related to the intricate process of legitimizing knowledge and power within a specific social and historical context. Composed by professors and researchers with extensive expertise in Chinese medicine, government regulation, and sociology, this collection offers an overview of the challenges and current social context of Chinese medicine that impacts students, practitioners of Chinese medicine, health and para-health biomedical professionals, and patients alike.
