republic of south africa Geranium Herb
The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is increasingly valued worldwide. Techniques like acupuncture and the preparation of herbal remedies have spread globally. 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. Extensive research has been conducted on both methods. China is the birthplace of TCM, boasting approximately 12,000 medicinal plants—a resource unmatched by other countries, giving China a monopolistic advantage in this area. The in-depth exploration, research, and summarization of TCM and its related pharmacology by ancient scholars have led to its widespread acceptance and application.
