Traditional Chinese Medicine stores (药材店) have been around for decades, and they are still relevant today despite the advancements in medical science.
While people go for Western medicines and consultations to cure sickness, Chinese medicines prioritize prevention by balancing the energy in your body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) retail originated from mom-and-pop stores, and many of them are still around offering not just Chinese medicines but also grocery items.
