Indigenous knowledge systems in China

Trying to find an indigenous knowledge of which differs from my culture' i have decided to explore a Chinese Tradition knowledge.
Sharing common concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine and many more.
Chinese medicine are rooted in books such as the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" and the "Treatise on Cold Damage" . In traditional Chinese herbal medicine, plant elements are by far the most commonly,  such as the assorted dried plant and animal parts used in these traditional medicines. The indigenous Chinese have roughly 13,000 medicinal used in China and over 100,000 medicinal recipes recorded in the ancient literature.

Although today, herbal medicines have gained a lot of power and scientific support, the chinese believed in this medicinal treatment long before it was as wide known. The believe the enerfy in plants support our body systems, and they tend to mix it mostly in drinks such as Tea, or mix the herbs in the needles and spread them all over the body.
