Example from my article:

 

the ancient Chinese understood their medicinal substances to have a

heteropathic (opposites cure) nature because of their observed effects, not

their assumed mode of action. In other words, because coptis/huang lian

lowers fever, stops acute bacterial dysentery and sedates the mind, it is

classified as an herb that " clears heat from the heart, stomach and

intestines " . Similarly, if a Chinese doctor was told that homeopathic sulfur

treated signs of red rash, feeling of heat, etc., he would classify it also as a

" clear heat herb " . Thus, the fact that full strength sulfur is considered hot

and

poisonous in TCM would be meaningless. It could easily be accepted that a hot,

poisonous herb had been processed into a cool, nontoxic herb (an example from

TCM is the transformation of tian nan xing to dan nan xing).
