Ancient Chinese Medicine The ancient Chinese had numerous remedial methods. The Chinese were the first to do autopsies. We also invented acupuncture, acupressure, and natural herbs. In Ancient China, the Chinese's goal to make medicine was to make an elixir of life to make emperors immortal and help them live eternally. Eventually, in their quest to make an elixir of life, they made series of medicines and remedies. The Chinese believed that this liquid potion was made from the gods. The idea to discover an elixir and the science of medicine was influenced by Tao Ch'ien, a famous poet and philosopher. In his poetry and philosophy, he believed that if the Chinese discovered a method of turning metal into gold, which would last forever, they would at the same time discover the elixir of life. With this belief, doctors and pharmacologists began to search madly for a technique to make metal into gold. After creating many medicines (such as herbal medicines like an Euryale seed which treated urination problems and animal organs, like the pig's liver, that helped someone's eyesight), which were discovered during the rush to make an elixir of life, Tsou Yen, a pharmacologist, formed a theory on how he thought chinese, herbs, medicine, dragon, make, believed, spirit, medicines, doctors, china, after, made, black, ancient, skin, life, doctor, body, white, parasite, organs, herbal, elixir, eat, diseases, discovered, called, animal, yin, yang, water, treatment, tongue, thought, shen, put
