Description
As Covid-19 rips through China's vast population, making millions sick and fuelling a shortage of drugs, many are turning to traditional medicines to battle the aches and pains of the virus.
Encompassing a range of treatments from herbal remedies and massages to acupuncture and diets, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years to treat all manner of ailments.
