你當係草? 但醫生當係寶! 草藥醫學不只是中醫有 Herbal medicine is not Traditional Chinese Medicine only

今次就同大家講吓， 草藥喺醫療當中發揮嘅重要角色
又好多人有一個誤解就是以為草藥等於中醫, 但其實西方國家的醫學最初也是以草藥作為治療手段, 後來化學的發展, 成功將草藥的一些成分提煉和純化再變成現在的西藥
例如我們用來醫治急性痛風藥, 一些化療抗癌藥和一些心臟藥物都是植物中提煉出來
其實我哋見到嘅一粒粒藥丸都有可能佢嘅前身係植物嚟㗎！
This video talks about the important role herbal medicine plays
There is a misunderstanding that herbal medicine is equal to traditional Chinese medicine only, but in fact, western countries also used herbal medicine as a treatment method in earlier days. With the development of chemistry, some components of herbal medicine were successfully extracted and purified into the current Western medicine.
For example, the drugs we use to treat acute gout, some anticancer chemotherapy and some cardiac drugs are extracted from plants
In fact, the pills we use nowadays may be made from a plant!
