The influence of Chinese medicine on pharmacy

The theory and practice of Chinese medicine have a profoundly inspiring effect on the development of contemporary medicine. The World Health Organization points out that the medicine of the 21st century will develop from disease medicine to health medicine, from treatment to prevention, from confrontation treatment to holistic treatment of the source of disease, from improvement of the foci of the disease to the emphasis on the ecological development and so on. These transformations are very similar to the theory of Chinese medicine.

Today, with the rapid development of modern medicine, the general theory of Chinese medicine still shows good practical value in many fields. In the fields of oncology medicine, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, endocrine disorders, all kinds of viral and bacterial infectious diseases, orthopedic injuries, gynecological and infantile diseases, and dermatologic disorders, etc., the traditional Chinese medicine has been trusted by the patients for its unique efficacy.
