Chinese herbal drug injections, which have not been approved by the international medical community, have put many patients’ lives at great risk in China. Family members of one patient who died from this risky practice have appealed to authorities in and out of China, including the World Health Organization (WHO), and are hoping that they can raise awareness about the dangers of this treatment method.
Intravenous injections of Chinese herb extracts have become a common practice in many hospitals in China because it has become a lucrative business. However, in the past two years, the Chinese media have reported numerous deaths as a result of the herbal drug injections’ harmful ingredients and adverse side effects.
