Chinese medicine has been practiced in the United States since the beginning of its colonial era. A recent article focuses on the earliest traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the country. Until 1970s, Chinese doctors in the United States primarily specialized in herbalism. Chinese medicines such as teas, herbs, and Appalachian ginseng had started becoming available across various regions of the world well before Chinese had started emigrating to the United States.
Chinese immigrants began arriving in the country in the 1850s, bringing with them their traditional medical practices. Gradually, Chinese doctors started selling their services as “nature’s remedies,” using herbs to attract non-Chinese patients.
