This belief about traditional medicines exists in other cultures as well. And so the people still use--albeit in decreasing quantities--some products taken from endangered animal species (such as banded krait, tiger's penis and bear gall) that doctors never or rarely prescribe or regard as not being suitable for just anyone.
因此一些和今天保育類動物相關的產品，比如雨傘節、虎鞭、熊膽這一些醫界不用、少用或認為不是每個人都適合吃的藥材，在民間生活信仰中，數量也許日漸減少，但確實還存在。
