That’s why I was so surprised by everyone I spoke to. I’ve had acupuncture many times, brewed Chinese herbal medicine on my stove and had pretty good results esp acupuncture here in Australia

I’m always curious and found it so strange none of the locals used it and it was down to no trust in practitioners or even the quality of herbal medicine. These were in big cities like Ningbo maybe that’s why

You know when I used to go to China for work 10years or so ago no one I met had ever had acupuncture because they didn’t trust anyone and also thought the Chinese herbal medicines were covered in pesticides so didn’t use those either

The levels of distrust go deep
