Features: Traditional Chinese medicine refers to the drugs that the Chinese people have long used for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine actually consists of two parts: Chinese medicine and herbs. Chinese medicine refers to drugs used for healthcare based on the theory and clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine, including medicinal materials, prepared herbs, and proprietary Chinese medicine preparations. Herbs, on the other hand, refer to folk medicines used by grass-root herbalists for treating diseases or passed down through word-of-mouth in local communities, some of which are also Chinese medicine. Due to the many similarities between these two types of drugs, we habitually refer to them as traditional Chinese medicine. The book's features introduce the health-preserving functions, health-care functions, and cultural landscape functions of cultivating traditional Chinese medicine. It particularly provides a detailed explanation of the nutrients and disease-preventive and -treatment substances of traditional Chinese medicine, so that readers can have a comprehensive and correct understanding of traditional Chinese medicine while cultivating it, achieving both ornamental and environmental beautification. This is especially important because many advertisements nowadays do not provide a comprehensive and truthful promotion of the effects of traditional Chinese medicine.
