For years, the Chinese government and the government of the Republic of China on Taiwan have put great efforts into promoting the modernization of Chinese medicine. As a result, there are now modern professionals trained in both traditional Chinese Medicine / acupuncture and modern Western medicine to conduct research on the development of Chinese Medicine. Modern Western Science methodologies have been employed to analyze the effectiveness of herbs and acupuncture treatment on various subjects. Many of the differences between Chinese medicine and modern Western scientific practices are now being studied for their synergistic potential. Joint research efforts with research institutes such as Stanford University, College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University, and National Cancer Institute have been made to evaluate the effectiveness of Chinese Medicine and improve the classification and selection/prescription of formulas and acupuncture treatments. This research indicates that Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is very effective in regenerating organic function and treating chronic diseases.

Modern western methodologies are also making the formula of TCM available globally. Originally, these ancient formula once prescribed were taken home and slowly boiled into soup to be consumed. This four-hour process was done twice daily and the soup often smelled and tasted unpleasant. Modern technology has finally enabled the potent essence of these healing herbs to be extracted in their natural state for delivery to people in need around the world.
