In sum, eastern medicine and treatments should be used more in the west because they promote health and wellbeing as well as prevent serious illnesses. People in the west do not realize that there are underlying problems to their heart, weight and stress problems, such as lack of exercise and not enough time with loved ones. sick people use man-made chemicals sold in pharmacies, instead of natural plants,to eliminate consequences of bad health; in fact, they should be looking more at the causes and not the outcomes of poor lifestyle. Western patients spend more time undergoing surgery and recovering from illnesses that they do in trying to prevent it. Although a great number of valuable discoveries have been made in western countries for how to treat diseases, the east offers a long history of valuable knowledge that should not be ignored.
