Chinese Medical
what's the difference between oriental medical doctor and herb doctor?
What do you say Chinese traditional medical doctor in English?
Well, the term "oriental" is obsolete. If you meant Asian, call it Asian.
Herb doctor: herbalist. These people usually have not earned a medical license, so calling them doctor is inappropriate.
Doctor who specializes in Chinese medicine is just that: a doctor who specializes in Chinese medicine. Many of these doctors do have medical training and licensure. But they probably received at least some training in Chinese traditional medicine in China or some comparable learning institution elsewhere.
Chinese traditional medicine is not the same as herbal medicine. Chinese medical practices incorporate practices such as reflexology, qi flow, and acupuncture.
Likewise, not all "oriental" medicine is Chinese. The Indians have a set of practices called Ayurvedic medicine. Japanese have their own medical traditions. And there are plenty of indigenous practices flourishing in the islands.
