　　Chinese medicine

　　As is commonly known, until the most recent two centuries people fought against disease with traditional drugs. Ancient civilizations all had their own national drug system, among which the Chinese system was the most comprehensive and achieved the greatest results. We could say that the Chinese traditional drug system is the supreme representation of the type. Traditional Chinese drugs come mostly from natural plants. With some from animals and minerals. There are about 5000 traditional drugs in use across China, and countless prescriptions made with those drugs.
