The fact is, whether we look at its emphasis on (chi) energy, its holistic, preventative approach or its personalised treatments...
...it is absolutely aligned with modern socio-cultural trends
It is orthodox 'Western' medicine which is increasingly alternative to society

they heard a noise in the bushes
