Research into Chinese phytotherapy has brought to light a rich bibliography of writings dating back over 3500 years. The properties of the herbs, their effects, the active ingredients and even their toxicity are explained in detail. These writings and modern research provide empirical and scientific evidence of the therapeutic effectiveness of Chinese phytotherapy.

Over 400 important herbs are available in Switzerland from herb companies that guarantee identity, quality and purity. Medicinal plants are predominantly used (leaves, flowers, roots, bark), but mineral or animal substances (e.g. certain mussel shells) are also rarely used. Strict attention is paid to species protection. The herbs are always taken as a combination (2-15 individual remedies) as a “prescription” prescribed by the doctor and boiled (decoction), but other forms such as granules (instant powder), tablets and capsules are also common.

To take the herbs, you will receive instructions tailored to your needs, which must be followed exactly. The granules should be dissolved in water that is as hot as possible and taken with a little honey or orange juice, for example, due to the bitter taste.

In addition to acute infections, the herbs are particularly effective for allergies, skin diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal inflammation, gastritis, hepatitis and menstrual disorders.
