“Integration of Herbal Medicine with Modern Healthcare Systems”
One prominent trend in the Asia-Pacific herbal medicine market is the increasing integration of herbal medicine into modern healthcare systems. Governments and healthcare institutions in countries such as China, Japan, and India are actively promoting the use of traditional herbal medicine alongside allopathic treatments. For instance, the AYUSH ministry advocates the use of Ayurvedic and herbal treatments, with dedicated hospitals and clinics offering these therapies.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is formally integrated into the national healthcare system. Hospitals frequently offer TCM as part of treatment regimens for various chronic conditions. Kampo medicines, derived from Chinese herbal practices, are prescribed alongside conventional medicine and are covered under national health insurance. This integration ensures wider acceptance, increases patient trust, and fuels growth in the herbal medicine market.
