Do you think the development of traditional Chinese medicine has a lot to do with Chinese herbal medicine raw materials?

The development of traditional Chinese medicine has a very important relationship with the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, which is manifested in the following aspects: First, the names of medicinal materials are not standardized, and local people are used to using their names, but the same name is two or more completely different drugs. For example, South Radix Isatidis and North Radix Isatidis, both of which are locally called Radix Isatidis, are two plants with completely different properties and tastes. Second, the collection standard is not standardized, and all medicinal materials have their best collection standards. For example, harvesting time, harvesting place and primary processing are all directly related to medicinal efficacy. Chinese herbal medicines have systematic quality standards, while Chinese herbal medicines are relatively lack of unified standards. Third, the clinical verification is not perfect. For example, most of the indicators listed in the instructions of Chinese patent medicines are "unclear". Essentially, there is a lack of sufficient clinical trials. Four: improper storage methods, most of the effective components of Chinese herbal medicines are reflected in the nature of volatile oil, improper storage methods lead to the loss of effective components, and ultimately lead to efficacy failure. Fifth, the determination of effective components is not perfect, and the effective content of Chinese herbal medicines is rarely determined from collection to clinical application. To sum up, the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine directly affect the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
