摘要
Chinese Herbal Medicine has been mainstream practice for hundreds of generations, however the merits of herbal therapeutics have been debated in the era of modern medicine. With a shift towards scientific analysis and rigorous testing of conventional pharmaceuticals in the past century, critics have questioned the proclaimed effects of herbal concoctions. Nonetheless, herbal medicines are still used frequently and have spawned clinical studies meant to determine their therapeutic efficacy. This paper aims to evaluate many aspects of Chinese Herbal Medicine applications that have already been analyzed in other papers, then propose a study which explores the effects of the herbal concoction Ban Xia Bai Zhu Tian Ma Pian in lowering blood pressure. Hypertension was chosen as the focus of the study due to its extensive presence in the population and the impact a significant outcome can provide given its prevalence. The ultimate goal is to find a balance between both eastern and western practices of medicine, thus preserving Chinese medical traditions that are concurrently buttressed by scientific research.

中国草药一直是数百代的主流实践，但是在现代医学时代辩论了草药治疗剂的优点。随着对过去世纪的科学分析和对常规药物的严格测试的转变，批评者已经质疑草药混合物的宣布效果。尽管如此，草药仍然经常使用并产生临床研究，以确定其治疗效果。本文旨在评估在其他论文中已经分析的中草药应用的许多方面，然后提出了一项研究，该研究探讨了草药Concoction Ban Bai Zh Tian Ma Pian降低血压的影响。由于其在人口中的广泛存在和影响力，因此选择了高血压作为研究的重点，并且在普遍存在中可以提供显着结果。最终目标是在东部和西方医学做法之间找到平衡，从而保护科学研究同时支撑的中国医学传统。
