Three pharmaceutical codices setting quality standards for the medicine of the Zhuang ethnic group were approved Sunday by experts from the State Drug Administration (SDA).
The works have ended the history of no written record of medicine study for the Zhuang, China's most populous minority group.
These works, each covering 200 types of Zhuang medicine, offer detailed information about the medicine's origins, forms, properties, chemical components, functions and dosages, and some are illustrated.
Cao Cai, an SDA medicine expert, considers the works a significant contribution to Zhuang medicine research and application because of their accuracy, completeness and practicality.
They include the latest achievements in the quality standard research of modern medicine and are indeed a milestone for Zhuang medicine development, said Cao.
