Chinese herbs refer to the herbal medicines made from the components of plants like roots, stems, leaves, and fruits. China is the birthplace of Chinese herbs and there are about 12,000 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines at present.

Therefore, it has a certain side effect, which is very subtle for people to notice. Besides, the purification and the producing technique of Chinese herbs are not as good as that of western medicines, resulting in some mild side effects. Nevertheless, it’s reckless to conclude that Chinese herbs are of no use. The side effects of herbal medicine only occur in a small number of people.
