Abstract

Chinese traditional medicine spread out over Europe in the XVI and XVII centuries through the missionaries chronicles. It entered the Island of Cuba protected by the Royal Order of July 7th, 1847, legalizing the use of Asiatic laborers in Cuba. Chang Pon Piang arrives to Havana in 1854 on-board of a brig of Chinese emigrant-laborers. He included in his therapy medicines prepared using Cuban medicinal plants or foreign imported products he used to buy in stores of the Capital. Accused of illegally practicing medicine, he moved to Cardenas where he practiced his profession up to his enigmatic death.
