The traditional medicine of all countries in the world is a rare treasure of the international medical community.

Traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional medicines have made great contributions to safeguarding people's health in the world and have unique advantages. It is of great significance for human beings to fully explore and develop traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional medicines to overcome diseases and ensure health.

Development:

In recent years, with the change of human disease spectrum and the rise of the trend of "returning to nature", traditional medicine such as traditional Chinese medicine has been highly valued by all countries in the world, and the world's traditional medicine has developed rapidly and its international status has been rising.

However, the application and absorption of traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional medicines in modern science and technology still need to be strengthened, and their development is far from meeting the health needs of human beings. At the same time, the development of traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional medicine in the world is very uneven, and some countries and regions have not yet defined the legal status of traditional medicine.
