Applicant: Luoyuan County, Fujian Province

She medicine is mainly distributed in seven counties (cities, districts) in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. The radiation areas include Taishun and Wencheng in Zhejiang Province and some towns in Fujian Province.

She medicine is a traditional medicine that she people explore and create in the long-term production and life practice to adapt to the living environment and survival health requirements. It is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, and has the characteristics of regional, national and family. As she people live in mountainous areas or semi mountainous areas, they have unique medical methods and medication habits, and accumulated a lot of ancestral secret recipes and experience in the treatment of traumatic injury, snake injury, rheumatism, jaundice and hepatitis, infantile malnutrition, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, etc. Because she nationality has language but no writing, she medicine is mostly taught by mouth and heart, learning and testing. Medicine is integrated, which is more important than practice. Its characteristics of self diagnosis, self collection, self-control, self matching and self use determine the difficulty of its inheritance. At present, most of the folk she doctors are old, and some of them have passed away. Therefore, it is urgent to rescue and develop she medicine.

In addition to Bajing village, she medicine is also distributed in Tali, huangjiawan, WangYan, shuikouyang, shanlongwan, tingyangban and other she villages in Luoyuan county.

There are more than 1000 kinds of she medicine. She medicine is efficient, cheap, simple and convenient. It can be picked in four seasons and can be found everywhere.
