Historical reasons for the transition of world medicine from traditional medicine to western medicine

Reverse pharmacology aims to integrate recorded clinical experience and experimental findings through exploratory research, so that traditional medicine can become a better and safer precursor in modern drug research and development. Traditional medicine is generally a mixture of various compounds, which often has a variety of pharmacological effects, so it is changed from traditional medicine to western medicine. Historically, chemically synthesized drugs have turned to natural drugs. It is generally believed that drugs made of natural medicinal materials have more medical and nourishing effects than chemically synthesized western medicines. Simple therapeutic drugs have turned to nutritional drugs, such as vitamins, amino acids and trace elements necessary for human body. All kinds of rich health foods are made of Chinese herbal medicines. So it's not that traditional medicine is not good, but that people's ideas have changed.
