The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is increasingly valued worldwide. Acupuncture and the decoction of TCM are spreading globally, and the research potential of TCM offers significant flexibility. In China, TCM is typically prepared in two ways: decoction following prescriptions from TCM experts, and as medicinal wines. Both methods are extensively researched in China. As the birthplace of TCM, China boasts approximately 12,000 medicinal plants—a resource unmatched by other countries, giving us a monopolistic advantage. The in-depth exploration, research, and summarization of TCM and its related practices by ancient scholars have led to its widespread acceptance and application.
