Abstract
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with its long history, is deeply rooted in the Chinese culture and represents one of the oldest forms of medical therapy in the world. TCM has been used for thousands of years in China for health maintenance, disease prevention, and used to a lesser extent for the application of a variety of clinical therapies. Today, the global use of TCM is rapidly increasing and over 130 countries in the world are using Chinese Herbal Medicine (Hsiao 2007). The majority of drugs harvested and processed in China are of plant origin. A highly developed industry delivers medical plant preparations to the local Chinese customers and exports plant-based drugs to Asia and developing markets in Europe, Canada, and the USA.
