[Chinese phytotherapy: the power of synergy].
Chinese pharmacology is ancient and very extensive. In reality, Chinese pharmacology is composed of matter having vegetable, animal and mineral origins; however, the dominance of vegetable and the exclusive restriction to vegetable matter which European legislation obliges us to follow makes the use of the term phyto-therapy which means curing via plants, as is reported in another article, "Phyto-therapy, a choice based on science and tradition" by Dr. Josep AlluPéCreus. (Rev ROL Enf 8(3):179-182).
