I kind of hate this trend of chinese serie where traditional chinese medicine works everywhere but modern medicine is shit. While I can understand the ones where it's an hermit/otherworlder/... because there is the "mystical" factor, here it's downright wrong. Traditional chinese medicine has stagnated for hundred of years. You could even say it has regressed since there is a lot more scammer. So how in the world would it be better in a hundred years?
In japanese story, it modern medicine introduced in old world, while chinese stories has middle-aged medicine brought in the modern world. You can say it's just a story, but the problem is that it shows the mentality of the people there. I don't say that traditional chinese medicine is totally wrong, but the scope of what it can cure is limited. Like curing people with herbs in the West. Plus a big part of it is just scam (the whole "90% of anything can be made as an aphrodisiac". Seriously, except better nails, what do you except will arrive when eating rhino horns)
If somebody has a blood clot, don't rely on herbs, spells, talisman, rock or I don't know what else. Go visit an hospital.
