Where do rhino horns and tiger parts factor into that science?
From what I've seen of traditional Chinese medicine, it's about 98% nonsense and 2% home remedy like chicken soup for a cold.
- dyauspitr 1y agoNo, just like with Ayurveda there is plenty of actual stuff they stumbled on through trial and error. In Ayurveda- Turmeric has medically validated anti inflammatory effects, exactly what it has been traditionally used for. Triphala for GI health, Boswell is for joint paint and arthritis, Neem as an antimicrobial, Arjuna for hypertension, Ashwagandha for anxiety etc. There are a lot of these trial and error medications that do work. The ratio is definitely not 98:2, more along the lines of 70:30.
