You just gave a great explanation how Chinese medicine has no underlying understanding: It has techniques for mending a broken arm, but not the scientific underpinnings to explain why it works. Traditional Chinese medicine does not have an understanding of bone knitting, nor does it identify what infection really is. Without a scientific framework, it's all cargo-cult medicine, doing things that sort of work (sometimes) without really knowing why.
