Which the kidney-yang deficiency, the Mingmen , gasification disorder, and enuresis have no right to fixed perturbation; kidney-yin deficiency, the false fire impulses, renal clearance is not solid, not about the bladder urine and may also not be left behind.

Sharing Traditional Chinese Medicine With the World

In November, Beijing will host an international meeting on the development of traditional medicines, initiated by the World Health Organization. Minister of Science Wan Gang has proposed the creation of a global alliance focusing on R&D for traditional Chinese medicines.

Additionally, a dozen projects financed by the central government have started. These include the establishment of incubators to modernize TCM, the development of new herbal medicines and research into the use of TCM for infectious diseases.

About 202 herbal plants have established sound agricultural practices and standard operating procedures, according to the Ministry of Science.

Although there are no tax breaks tailor-made for the drug industry, herbal medicine makers could get preferential rates on corporate income tax if they are officially classified as "high-tech" and innovative."

Analyst Li Jinsong of Industrial Securities said that renowned local brands such as Tongrentang, Qianjin Pharmacy and Kanon Pharmaceutical, with cutting-edge herbal medicine R&D, would have more to gain from the upcoming policies to "support" the TCM industry promised by Premier Wen Jiabao in the March government work report.

At a forum themed "Sharing Traditional Chinese Medicine With the World" held in Tianjin last month, deputy chief Fang Shuting of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicines said that emerging external demand and domestic modernization would give TCM "powerful stamina and broad prospects."

Hurdles ahead; optimism too

Many TCM enterprises see rosy prospects, but the cold hard facts demand some dispassionate analysis. With nearly 1,500 manufacturers, the entire TCM industry's production was only 150 billion yuan last year. Western medicine production was nearly three times as much. And of the 1 billion U.S. dollars in exports, the lion's share was composed of simple herbal plants and extracts, with TCM accounting for only a small proportion.

Two gigantic hurdles are the mysterious workings of herbal medicines and lack of support from overseas governments, according to Zhang.

Modernization vanguard Yan is a strong believer in having technology replace, at least partly, the human component in the four traditional diagnostic methods: observing, hearing and smelling, asking questions and touching.

For example, there's the process of taking the pulse, part of the touching component of TCM exams. Yan said Tasly researchers are exploring the possibility of using instruments to classify the pulse beat based upon the stress received by blood vessels.

"It's too early to talk about an industry, but we are moving ahead," Yan said.

Zhang and Yan agreed that the best solution was not to seek ways to substitute Western medicines and TCM for each other but to fuse them appropriately. In China, even herbalists have learned to make diagnoses from X-rays.

Ama Busia, a member of the Council of State of the Republic of Ghana and also a user of Tasly's products, said that TCM had already become a part of his government's strategy to explore all the possibilities for creating a healthier population. TCM not only helped relieve symptoms and cure diseases, she said; it also restored imbalances and returned harmony to bodily systems and promoted wellness.

"Medical insurance is an awful headache for many countries," said Yan. "Using aggressive, pharmaceutical-based therapy and radiotherapy to treat diseases will impose a heavy fiscal burden. Traditional Chinese medicine, by contrast, can maintain health and cope with the changing spectrum of disease more effectively."

History of Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine has been widely used to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases. It largely consists of natural medicines and produced ones, namely medicines made from herbal, animal, mineral, some chemical substance and biological substance. The invention and application of Chinese medicine has a history of thousand of years. Yet the word "Chinese medicine" appeared only after western medicine was introduced into China, which aimed to make a difference between the two.

History of Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese history once told a fiction of a person named Shen Nong who tasted many herbs at the same time and was then poisoned. It told us what difficult times that ancient Chinese people had when discovering the medicines.

Dating back to the period around 22 century B.C. to 256 B.C (in which China was in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty), there appeared alcohol medicine and soup medicine. A book, The Book of Songs (or Shi Jing) in the Zhou Dynasty (11 century B.C. to 771 B.C.), wrote something about medicine. This is the earliest existing book bearing records of ancient Chinese medicine. Another book, Nei Jing, which is the earliest existing book on Chinese medicine theory, proposed the theories like "cooling the patient if one had high temperature and vice versa", "adding the five flavors into the medicine and one would feel bitter inside and have diarrhea. These formed the basis of Chinese medicine theory.

The earliest existing book on Chinese herbal medicine, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (Ben means root and Cao means shoot), was written in the Qin and Han Dynasty (221 B.C.-220A.D.) based on the work of medical experts who collected lots of materials before the Qin Dynasty. The book recorded 365 types of medicine, some of which is still used in contemporary clinics. This book set up a beginning of the establishment of eastern medicine.

In the Tang Dynasty (618 A.D.-907 A.D.), economy prospered, which boosted the eastern medicine. The Tang government wrote the book, Tang Ben Cao, which is the earliest existing book in the world on pharmacopeia. This book included 850 types of medical herbs and their pictures, which further improved the scale of eastern medicine.

In the Ming Dynasty (1368 A.D.- 1644 A.D.), an expert of herbal medicine Li Shizhen spent 27 years accomplishing the book, Ben Cao Gang Mu. The book recorded 1,892 types of herbal medicine, making it the greatest book in Chinese history, which included the most type of herbal medicines.

After the founding of New China in 1949, plenty of researches have been done in various fields such as botany, identification science, chemistry, pharmacology and clinical medicine. These researches provide scientific basis to identify the source and authenticity of herbal medicines as well as their function scheme. Later, a nationwide survey was done on the source of the medicine, which helped produced the book, Zhong Yao Zhi in 1961. In 1977, the book, Herbal Medicine Dictionary, was publicized, which brought the number of recorded herbal medicine to 5,767. In addition, reference books, treatise, newspaper and magazines on Chinese medicine were publicized. There also established institutions on scientific research, teaching and producing of Chinese medicine.
