Pronunciation

If herbology is the study of herbs, why is it pronounced "HERB-ol-o-gy" when herb is pronounced "ERB"?? Unsigned comment by 24.176.65.31

Because in American English we affect a French accent for this word (silent "H") but in British English they say the "H."

Removing end of a sentence

Hi all, I am going to remove this sentence-ending - "with little or no rigorous evidence of efficacy.[5]" - becuase I clicked on the linked article to read this evidence, and I saw that it referred to AFRICAN traditional medicine - not CHINESE traditional medicine. Thanks all Gam3r mojo (talk) 02:52, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This study is from WP:FRINGE issues. Please gain consensus before removing this again, thanks. Grayfell (talk) 03:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply

Use of Chinese medicine in China as of 2021

I want to instate new information from a study conducted in 2021 about the use of Chinese herbs in China
see the following article [1] Wang, C., Sun, S. & Ding, X. The therapeutic effects of traditional chinese medicine on COVID-19: a narrative review. Int J Clin Pharm 43, 35–45 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11096-020-01153-7
I would like to reach a consensus on the addition of this information from the editors. As of now I am waiting patiently for your thoughts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ToltecShaman (talk • contribs) 00:59, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted at Wikiproject Medicine's talkpage, asking that editors with experience in assessing the reliability of medical sources look at this discussion. I note though that, while you've provided a source, you haven't proposed specific changes to the article here. Editors can review the changes that ToltecShaman was making in the article history.

Well of course a review of articles published in low-quality TCM journals sponsored by the Chinese government is going to find a positive effect of TCM... JoelleJay (talk) 18:19, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My edits, (which I see from the edit history of the article are supported by a number of different editors), Were based on the fact that the source supplied by ToltecShaman is unreliable. I also objected to the removal of a perfectly well sourced statement regarding the "fraught with pseudoscience" nature of the topic. The policy that applies is
Traditional Chinese Medicine
where OP wants to make similar POV edits.

I note that consensus supports my edits. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 18:45, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Chinese herbal teas do heal diseases. That's a fact. But, wait, there is a trick: Chinese herbal teas are filled with allopathic medicines. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:31, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
