Abstract

Chinese herbal medicine is one of the treatment pathways amongst the multicomponent therapeutics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The main role of it includes regaining homeostasis, stabilizing health, preventing illnesses, and overall, prolonging life span and improving quality of life. Since TCM is more focused on treating the root of diseases, Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to prevent, treat, and manage various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, neurological disorders, and so on. Other significant roles can also be seen as to alleviate several side effects of Western medicine's treatment and be incorporated as part of the management process of the disease recovery and rehabilitation period.
