Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture (Guangzhou)

Lingnan traditional-Chinese-medicine culture is a medical tradition rooted in the Lingnan region, shaped by the local hot, humid climate into a distinctive heritage of herbal practice and health cultivation.

It emphasizes clearing 'heat' and damp and adjusting to the seasons, expressed daily through herbal teas, medicinal diets and slow-simmered soups, with old pharmacy houses passing on their knowledge across generations.

Lingnan TCM culture is provincial-level intangible cultural heritage, reflecting the region's wisdom of wellness and way of life.

In Guangzhou you can sense this tradition at time-honored pharmacy houses, a TCM culture garden and herbal-tea shops.
