1. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, many spices were introduced into China through the Silk Road, and dozens of varieties, including frankincense, myrrh, storax, camphor, Long Xianxiang, etc., were directly adopted by Chinese medicine. At the same time, Arabic and Persian prescriptions were also introduced to China, such as "Psoralea corylifolia" and "Feisan decoction". Many drugs with Arabic and Persian herbs as the main ingredients appeared in the Code of Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as Frankincense Pills, Muxiang Decoction, Myrrha Powder, benzoin Pills and so on. Because Hui medicine is formed on the basis of Arabic medicine and combines the essence of China traditional medicine, Hui medicine contains not only pills, powders, ointments and soups from China, but also aromatic volatile drugs, nasal drops, wine dew, oil and syrup from Arabia.

Non-drug therapy is a kind of therapy that does not use any drugs to treat diseases. The ancestors of the Hui nationality walked on the Silk Road and bumped on horseback or camel's back all day, so the spine and bones were easily impacted and problems often appeared. Because of this, Muslims have good treatment methods for facet dislocation and spinal skew. Instruments such as Hui impact bone plate, meridian-pushing hammer, etc. It was specially invented to solve these problems. It is precisely because of the difficult living conditions that drugs are difficult to be self-sufficient, and they usually relieve their pain through non-drug methods such as massage, bloodletting and cupping. In addition, after moving to China, the theory and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine were integrated, and a set of effective health care methods with Hui characteristics were gradually formed.

In addition to the common massage, bloodletting, fatigue scraping and other methods, hydrotherapy, oil therapy, fire therapy, urn collapse, treatment of tea, diet therapy and so on are more Hui characteristics. Except for tea and dietotherapy, these therapies are all external treatment of internal diseases, and the operation is very simple. Once learned, they have no side effects on the body and can be used as family health care therapy at home.

We Hui people have always been very particular about diet, and there are many taboos, and the word "clean" is highlighted everywhere. Pork and the meat of animals such as horses, donkeys, mules and dogs that do not ruminate, the meat of fierce animals (such as eagles and tigers), the meat of dead animals and the blood of all animals are also among the fasting. Animals that Muslims do not fast can only be eaten after the imam recites the scriptures. From the perspective of modern medicine, it makes sense not to eat your dead animals and blood, because your dead animals and blood may contain many germs, but eating them is harmful to your health.

We Hui people eat beef, mutton and pasta at most, and also drink tea. In the experience accumulated by our ancestors, we have also found many unique prescriptions for Hui dietotherapy. These methods are still used in families today. I hope these methods can be understood by more people, and I also hope that compatriots of all ethnic groups can benefit from them, be healthy and live a happy life.
