Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that presents significant treatment challenges due to its complexity, especially in terms of the various side effects that traditional medications may bring during the chronic course of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has emerged as a promising complementary therapy for UC. Based on the latest research, our editorial explored the current issues and potential essential research directions for TCM in treating UC. We anticipate that future high-quality research will pave the way for the optimization of TCM formulas for UC and their broader global application.
