Some of the Chinese folk healing "earth method" has a scientific basis?

There are always some traditional Chinese folk remedies, these remedies are generally passed down from mouth to ear, although there is no actual theoretical basis, but many people believe that these things, that the earth's remedies have gone through generations of witnesses, there may really be a surprise effect, can be very good treatment of some doctors and even famous doctors can not be cured of the disease.

So, do folk remedies really work? There is no scientific basis? I think this matter must be discussed on the matter, not a pole to overturn a boat people. Folk remedies have a lot of sources, the main basis is in fact the previous experience of many doctors and get, we all know that the development of medicine has a long process, China's traditional medicine is Chinese medicine. Then the Chinese medicine is mainly rely on the accumulation of clinical experience to treat the disease, the former doctor is also most of the master with the apprentice to bring out, so many of the prescription is the accumulation of word of mouth. In this process there is a high probability of errors, so folk remedies have a certain scientific basis, but there is no guarantee that they are completely effective.

We are all familiar with many folk remedies to treat some fever and colds, such as a mild cold can drink some brown sugar ginger water, can be effective in cold, so that the cold as soon as possible to get well. But this method only applies to the cold caused by the cold, if it is a viral cold, this method does not help, or need to take medicine as soon as possible.

Folk remedies can't all be trusted, nor can they be disbelieved, after all, this is the embodiment of the traditional wisdom of the older generation, when the economic conditions are not as good as they are now, this kind of prescription has helped us old people to treat the disease and maintain good health.
