General Development of Chinese Herbal Medicine
Types of Chinese herb |
TCHM is widely used in Asian countries, both in its traditional holistic form and in a simplified disease-oriented version. A few scientific trials of TCHM were designed, even though evidence is inadequate. In addition, there remain serious safety concerns to be resolved.
Chinese herbal medicine has a long history. Ancient herbology in China highlighted potions. Only by about the 12th century A.D. were the deeper principles of Chinese medicine fully applied to herbal treatment which is a method that can be called TCHM. This was further refined and elaborated during various periods of active theorizing in the 14th through the 19th centuries. The incoming western disease concepts in the 20th century led to further changes in TCHM.
Today TCHM is used together with conventional pharmaceutical treatment in China. Tremendous attempts have been made to subject TCHM to scientific evaluation.
