From Herbs to AI: TCM Reinvents Itself at Global Expo
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is having its \"phoenix moment\" at this year’s China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS). Think less dusty apothecary jars, more AI-powered skin analyzers and cosmetics infused with centuries-old herbal wisdom.
The exhibition area dedicated to TCM has become a hotspot, blending ancient practices like acupuncture demonstrations with futuristic health tech. Visitors can test smart devices that analyze qi (vital energy) or explore beauty products merging ginseng and goji berries with lab-developed formulas. One exhibitor joked: \"It’s like your grandma’s remedy met a sci-fi movie.\"
Why Gen Z Should Care
Beyond the Instagram-worthy displays, TCM’s globalization is accelerating. With partnerships in over 190 countries and regions, this isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s a $42 billion industry evolving through AI diagnostics and eco-friendly herb farming. As CGTN’s reporters highlighted, the sector now targets wellness-obsessed youth craving natural alternatives to Western pharmaceuticals.
