>>9710>Lots more chinese people believe in MLM herbal medicine over conventional medicine tooA very large amount of traditional Chinese medicine (which is partially still respected and used in China) has completely legitimate scientific backing.
Example:
Ephedra is a plant containing ephedrine, known by Chinese for thousands of years, it's a very medically useful drug and is still used and sold in America commonly in it's synthetic form, pseudoephedrine.
Willow bark contains aspirin, obviously an extremely useful and important drug, which has been known by people since ancient times.
Countless other examples of plants being used for hundreds/thousands of years known to Chinese medicine with legitimate medical use.
