Except for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) of Han Chinese, other ethnicities also approach health in their own ways. Among them, Yao people’s traditional medicine stands out as the most prominent one. It is national acknowledged that Yao people are good at treating cancer, Lupus erythematosus, traumatic fracture, rheumatic diseases and women’s diseases. Medicinal baths also win them good reputation. From time immemorial, Yao people have known how to pick up a myriad of herbs to prepare various medicinal baths, which can not only wash down fatigue, but also enhance immunity, alleviate diseases and beautify skin. Thanks to thousands of years’ practice, Yao people have accumulated a stunning number of prescriptions. From minor ailments to diseases such as high blood pressure, each has a specific prescription.
