Heritage Tradition

Chinese Botanical Heritage

One of the world's longest continuously documented traditions of plant-based knowledge.

Chinese botanical heritage is among the oldest and most extensively documented bodies of plant knowledge in the world, with written records spanning many centuries. Practitioners historically described botanicals by their character, the season of gathering and the method of preparation, and passed formulation knowledge on through teacher–student lineages and family practice.

Careventis documents and reviews published and lineage-based information about this tradition for educational and cultural-preservation purposes, with attention to authenticity and cultural integrity. We do not present any botanical or formulation as a treatment for any condition.

What We Do With This Tradition

  • Mapping the tradition's terminology, classics and lineages
  • Reviewing how preparations are documented and attributed
  • Connecting inquirers with registered practitioners in Malaysia where appropriate
