China has long history of nature based medicines - from botany, animals, bones, etc. On the other hands the West came up with synthesised medicines through scientific, chemical research & development. But probably those R&D are originally derived from a careful observation on the phenomenon of nature. We had a report that China's also trying to produce effective medicines from very large collections of Chinese nature based drugs. If they succeeded, we wouldn't need to use an iron lung to breeze the herb of very foul tea anymore.
