Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) primarily consists of herbal remedies derived from plants (roots, stems, leaves, fruits), animal products (internal organs, skin, bones, and other tissues), and mineral substances. Since plant-based ingredients make up the majority of TCM, it is often referred to as traditional herbal medicine.

Across China, the use of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs has reached approximately 5,000 varieties. The combinations of these herbs to create various formulas are countless. After thousands of years of research and practice, TCM has evolved into a distinct scientific discipline known as pharmacognosy, which focuses on the study and classification of these herbal remedies.

The resource titled "Comprehensive Guide to Traditional Chinese Herbs – Inheriting the Essence of Chinese Medicine" serves as a rich repository of traditional herbal knowledge. It encompasses an extensive compendium of herbal materials categorized by their therapeutic functions, including those for replenishing energy, expelling wind, clearing heat, detoxifying, treating lung conditions, regulating the gastrointestinal tract, promoting diuresis, and addressing traumatic injuries. This collection stands as one of the most comprehensive references available for traditional Chinese herbal medicine.
