China has rich herbal medicine resources in mountain resorts, such as Mt Changbaishan, Mt Taishan and Mt Lushan etc. Famous Chinese Medicine doctors like Li Shizhen and Huatuo in ancient China had always gone to the mountains to find herbals, so that the patients could be cured.
Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) is an ancient system of health care that has undergone continual development over the centuries as the causes of illness that afflict mankind have evolved. Nowadays, in China, it is not an alternative form of therapy, but is used in the state hospitals alongside modern medicine. In addition, since more foreigners begin to choose Chinese medicine as a form therapy, there are a lot of Chinese Medicine practitioners aboard.
