Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an indispensable part of the world health and medical system, and plays an important role in treatment, prevention and health care. These TCM produce a large amount of Chinese medicine herbal residues (CHMRs) during the application process, most of which are the residues after decoction or extraction of botanical medicines. These CMHRs contain a large number of unused components, which can be used in medical, breeding, planting, materials and other industries. Considering the practical application requirements, this paper mainly introduces the low-cost treatment methods of CHMRs, including extraction of active ingredients, cultivation of edible fungi and manufacture of feed. These methods not only have low upfront investment, but also have some income in the future. Furthermore, other methods are brie y introduced. In conclusion, this paper can provide reference for people who need to deal with CMHRs, and contribute to the sustainable development of TCM.
