From SARS in 2003 to highly pathogenic avian influenza, we are all waiting for the next test. What is our epidemic? How to face it? However, in the process of preventing and treating SARS and avian influenza, people found that something handed down from ancestors played a key role, that is, Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has the inherent traditional culture and philosophical foundation of the Chinese nation. Like China's paintings, poems and even the Book of Changes and Feng Shui, it belongs to the cultural system of China. At the same time, it is a medical science closely combined with natural science.
On April 7, 2003, experts from the World Health Organization visited Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and said that after SARS patients received Chinese medicine treatment, the time for fever reduction and hospitalization was shortened. Experts also suggest that if Chinese medicine can be upgraded to the level of routine treatment, it will contribute to the prevention and treatment of SARS in other parts of the world. This has greatly inspired the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and injected a stream of empirical fresh blood into traditional medicine for thousands of years.
