I glad to hear that the State Drug Administration convened a "national folk medicine cum-private forum on traditional Chinese medical work", very happy, folk traditional Chinese medicine finally caught the attention of national authorities. I always thought that the tradition of folk medicine and an important force in the development of Chinese medicine.

Folk medicine is rooted in the grassroots (especially in rural areas), most of them have skills, in the non medical staff working in traditional Chinese medicine. Now many of them still not a legitimate license to practice medicine, but very popular with the people welcome. They should be incorporated into the inheritance and development of Chinese medicine team, to play an active role.

Since ancient times, the doctors of civil

Throughout medical history, medical history of written, basically from the private sector. If Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Ssu, Li, Wan secret fasting, Wang Qing-ren, etc., even if some doctors later became a physician, is famous in the folk first, and then elected to the palace. Doctors after the founding of New China, such as Lv Bingkui, Tung Chee-hwa, Chen Zhonggui, Kam Ting Geng, etc. are also from the grassroots (civil) transferring to Beijing. Ministry of Health, Ministry of Personnel, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in recognition of the 30 United States have health masters are mostly private practice experience.

Characteristics of Chinese traditional folk

What is traditional Chinese medicine? Li-fa, is the use of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine herbs to prevent and cure diseases. Chinese medicine hospital now have mostly Westernized, students trained in traditional Chinese medicine institutions have not really learned a lot of traditional Chinese medicine; at all levels of public sector staff working in traditional Chinese medicine has also been forced to survive the pressure and become neither Chinese nor Western has. Characteristics of the real traditional Chinese medicine with less and less, so the old man called on to train DENG Tie-tao "iron medicine."

The Chinese people are mostly modeled after birth, or self-taught, with more skills, they do not have knowledge of Western medicine, Western medicine does not check the equipment and instruments, from the impact of westernization, by Li-fa, a Chinese traditional herbs, Chinese medicine has a very strong characteristics, so they train and play an important force in traditional Chinese medicine.

Many folk medicine skillful

Traditional techniques rely on folk medicine prevent and cure diseases, feed their families, but if the technology hard to not survive. Xi'an has an old Chinese herbal therapy use of a variety of diseases, and pain, due to good effect, technology passes hard, with many patients.

Simple and inexpensive testing popular folk medicine

Chinese folk medicine uses the traditional method of preventing and curing diseases, to facilitate the timely, low cost, so popular with the people welcome. They are really for the masses to provide the effective strength of Chinese medicine services. But to note is that some fake Youyi Yaofan not really folk medicine, the two can not be confused, not unworthy.

Folk medicine has achieved

Now the focus of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine specialist construction projects include some of folk medicine for the project, such as Shanghai ancestral folk medicine Deng Xiaoqin burn burn ointment treatment, as well as folk medicine Ren Xiaoyan Beijing's "new catgut embedding therapy", has been Ministry of Health was included in the grassroots hundred years of practical technology to promote the project. This shows that government departments have begun to attach importance to people of Chinese medicine technology. Folk medicine in our current technology, research and development have much to improve the project, as long as the relevant departments to pay attention to support, to help research institutions, many non-Chinese will be the outcome, can be famous to get married. Such as small knife inventor Zhu Hanzhang, cure cancer "angel pill" inventor Zhenguo are all folk medicine, with the help of the relevant research institutions, the final success and fame, became professors. RI yet to spend a good green leaves, folk medicine as well.

In short, I propose the national authorities should increase the degree of attention to folk medicine, folk medicine hinder the development of revised regulations for civil legal practice medicine "green light" to create a relaxed conditions to encourage individuals to do more Chinese medicine clinics, to private Chinese occupation Primary health care market, so that the plight of traditional Chinese medicine in the revitalized, have inherited and developed.
