What roles do Eastern religious traditions play in modern medicine?

HIYA! I'll take a stab at this thing. Not an expert on either, but I do have some opinions. I take this question to mean how does Eastern religious tradition influence modern medicine. I feel there probably isn't much influence. I hear and read that this tenet or that teaching of Eastern traditions can't be verified scientifically, so, it's generally not accepted. For example, in Zen, there are teachings that say that mind and body are one. Not just connected, but actually one entity. It seems to me that few modern physicists accept this. In Hinduism there is the teaching of internal energy channels. But my understanding is that scientists scoff at the idea because they don't know how to conduct tests that meet scientific standards. But there are similarities, for sure, can't recall any off hand, sorry. But I'll bet that most similarities don't come about so much as an influence from Eastern traditions as from results from scientific experiments. By Eastern, I wonder now if you meant Eastern European. Traditions out of various places in Europe. Troy.
