If this continues, Chinese medicine may slowly die out!
It's really incomprehensible!Traditional Chinese medicine is in danger of extinction. With the new edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia once again deleting some animal and plant medicinal materials, the corresponding prescriptions can no longer be included and used.
For example, the withdrawal of Aristolochia, Tianxian vine and pangolin from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia means that there may be greater uncertainty in the future of Chinese patent medicines using these herbs as raw materials. At present, 109 kinds of proprietary Chinese medicines and prescriptions containing Tianxian vine, aristolochia and pangolin as raw materials can no longer be used. The reason why these varieties were removed was that the herbs themselves were toxic. For example, geckos, snakes, seahorses, beetles, etc. are internationally prohibited, and animal pangolins will be deleted because they have been upgraded to national first-class protected wild animals. In addition, although the clinical medicinal value of pangolins has been verified, it has not been recognized by the mainstream medical community, which is one of the reasons for its deletion.
What makes people puzzled is why the concept of Western medicine is always used to verify traditional Chinese medicineIt is important to know that in the dispensing of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to distinguish and treat syndromes according to the condition and pathogenesis, combined with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and select appropriate Chinese herbal medicines to cooperate with the disease. This is completely different from Western medicine, and Chinese medicine cannot be justified with a set of Western medicine. What's more, the efficacy of Chinese herbal formulas will be greatly weakened by the lack of certain Chinese herbal medicines. We must be wary of such routines and not let Chinese medicine go through more tosses.
The ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine are left by Chinese ancestors, why should they be subject to irrelevant international remarks, Chinese medicine prescriptions can be said to be national treasures and must be protected!
