ShenNong - Father of TCM 🌿
He is considered to be the father of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in part because of his detailed catalog containing 365 different botanical medicines.
Known for trying many of his own herbal cures, Shennong met an untimely death after ingesting a particularly poisonous plant. Also called Yán Dì, he is the second of the “Three Kings,” a group of ancient, legendary emperor deities.
He’s considered to be an ancestor of Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, perhaps even his father.
