About 150 years ago, natural herbs were the main medication for treating human diseases. It has been estimated that 28% of modern medicines are made from plants first used traditionally, such as aspirin, artemisinin, ephedrine, and paclitaxel.

With the wide application of chemical drugs, herbal medicine and other traditional therapies have shown sharp contraction. The results of Western medicine treatment are not satisfactory and problems of the adverse drug reaction are also very prominent. The reciprocal and alternative treatment, mostly the herbal medicine, has gained more recognition and has also become in demand.
