Traditional Medicine

Traditional Medicine includes a range of traditional medicine practices originating in the Three Kingdoms. Although well accepted in the mainstream of medical care throughout East Asia, it is considered an alternative medical system in much of the Western world. Traditional Medicine practices include such treatments as National herbal medicine, acupuncture, and dietary therapy.
Traditional Medicine claims to be rooted in meticulous observation of nature, the cosmos, and the human body, and to be thousands of years old.
The National people lived mountain areas that produce a large variety of medicines with very good quality and large quantity. At present, there are more than 1,500 kinds of common medicines, of which about 200 kinds are commonly used, and many precious and rare medicines.
In recent years, many herbal medicine plantation and production bases have been set up to explore and develop popular herbal medicines in the living areas of the National people. Some medicines have become raw materials for patented medicine, healthcare food and cosmetics. Some have been used in hospital prescriptions. Parts of valued medicines have been collected into Local Standards for Ethnic Minority Medicines.
