Features: China is a unified multi-ethnic country with 55 ethnic minorities nationwide. Like the Han ethnic group, over the millennia, each minority ethnic group has created a glorious history while also developing its own splendid medical culture. The book includes medical knowledge from 44 ethnic groups, such as Tibetan, Mongolian, Uyghur, Dai, Hui, Zhuang, Korean, Yi, Bouyei, Miao, Yao, Dong, Tujia, Bai, Lahu, Gelao, She, Wa, Jinuo, Pumi, Tu, Dongxiang, Mulao, Shui, Naxi, Kazakh, Yugur, Jingpo, Qiang, Maonan, Hani, Achang, Lisu, Jing, Oroqen, Evenki, Manchu, Daur,, Gaoshan, Li, Dulong, Deang, Nu, etc., with approximately 1,000 empirical prescriptions. Although these prescriptions are not yet sufficient to fully represent the folk medicine of all China's minority ethnic groups, they are enough to give a glimpse of their vast and profound content, truly deserving of being a treasure of traditional Chinese medical culture. The empirical prescriptions in this book not only have distinct ethnic characteristics but are also concise and effective, making them highly suitable for household use. At the same time, they hold significant research and collection value.
