What is Western Medicine by definition

What western medicine was like when it first came to japan and whether it was accepted

Life expectancy and mortality rates after 100 years of Commander Perry's arrival with what the japanese called 'the black ships'

I will also be talking about How medicine effected yokohama, then finally the conclusion

Kampo is a form of Japanese traditional medicine that focuses largely on herbal healing. This form of medicine is derived from traditional Chinese medicine and still shares many principles and practices with Traditional Chinese Medicine. The major difference between these two disciplines is the use of different ingredients and formulas.

I'm starting the comparison in 1853 when Commander Perry from America with 4 black ships because it was a big year for the japanese.

The life expectancy was at 36 years of age and 363 out of 1000 children died between the ages 0-5.

Western medicine is the treatment of medical conditions with medications, by doctors and nurses using methods developed in accordance to the Western medical and scientific traditions. It differs from Eastern medicine in its approach to treatment which relies a lot upon industrially produced medications and a firm loyalty to the formal scientific process. It involves the testing of medication on animals to record the side effects and effectiveness of it.

When Japan first opened up in 1853, the japanese physicians didn't like the idea of western medicine but after the great meiji restoration in the 1800's, the japanese physicians opened up to the idea that western medicine might not be too bad. This is when Western medicine was properly introduced into Japan.

50 years after the appearance of commander perry you prove that western medicine had made a difference in japan.

The life expectancy went from 36 years of age to 39 years of age and the infant mortality dropped from 363 deaths per 1000 born to 332 deaths of infants from 0-5 years old.

This affected Yokohama in many ways, because people were living longer that also meant that people could share their trade and this meant a lot for yokohama.

In conclusion I think that western medicine did have a big influence especially for Yokohama, I hope you have learned a thing or two about western medicine, thank you!
