Description according to traditional Chinese medicine: “Wind FENG is the carrier of a thousand diseases”, wise old Chinese medical books say. It does not mean that we should refuse going out of the house when we see trees fluttering in mild breeze, it means we should take care of our body so that no wind can harm it. In terms of Chinese medicine, it is prepared to pierce its inner balance as the tip of a spear. This “tip penetrating” the organism is a simple test of “lack of” resistance or our immune system. If our resistance is low, our balance is easily impaired and a disease follows… If we do not “dedust” our organism properly and our best friends our bad lifestyle, emotional blocks due to unsolved problems or lack of exercise, so that we are physically weak as a housefly, we make it really easy for our “wind FENG, our enemy”. It penetrates our boundaries full of holes (immunity) easily without great efforts.
Packaging: 100g of herbal powdered product (100% natural, without any synthetic or binding agents).
Dosage: The recommended daily dose of the beverage is 4 grams, i.e. 4 measuring cups once a day. It is used e.g. in case of acute viral diseases as well as chronic inflammations of the upper respiratory tract and all-year rhinitis (can also be used in the long term) or as prevention during periods of increased occurrence of viral infections (in the autumn and spring); it is also good against itchy skin in case of skin diseases and during the allergy season, e.g. against pollen-induced rhinitis in the spring and summer. To accelerate its effects in acute cases (cold, etc.), the dosage can be increased and the drink consumed more often, namely 3-4 times a day.
For both forms of eczema (dry itchy or burning purulent) this drink can be used successfully not just orally but also externally, in the form of a dressing or application on the affected sites several times a day – it is also highly effective against itchy skin!
Preparation:Pour hot water over the concentrated powder (at a ratio of 5:1) and drink it warm. It is also possible to add herbal tablets (preferably crushed) used against acute problems into the drink (e.g. Cold of Morning Mist (002) or Blowing of Dragon Cave (007) or Seclusion of the Hermit Chang (114) and consume them all together.

Each batch of our herbal products is tested in the accredited Phytax laboratory for medicines in Schlieren (Switzerland). This testing identifies herbs, but also heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and copper), bacteria (E. coli, salmonella, total number of bacteria), mould, yeasts and aflatoxins. TCM Herbs is the only supplier in Europe that tests each batch of herbs for all its herbal tablets. Among other things, the herbal products are tested for 511 types of pesticides (4 groups). This is because pesticides have become a worldwide problem, especially in products from the so-called third world. Customers buy herbal products in the belief that they are completely natural, but often these products are “contaminated” with other undesirable “chemicals”.
The herbal tablets and beverages from our company (TCM Herbs) are the only ones in Europe to have been additionally tested. Among others, our products are tested for 511 pesticides — and this number is continuously increasing due to the use of new pesticides. Pesticides are now becoming a global problem! Such a range of checks on pesticides cannot even be detected in laboratories in Europe. Neither is anyone testing it, because unfortunately European legislation does not require these examinations. This comprehensive testing of each batch, and each herb beyond the normal examinations does require considerable financial costs, but the quality of herbs and safety of our products is our absolute priority.
Laboratories are different
A certified laboratory for food supplements is obliged to examine the presence of heavy metals, fungi, and bacteria. However it only determines a smaller range of pesticides and its requirements for their quality content in herbs are lower.
On the other hand, a certified laboratory for medicines also identifies individual herbs and, in particular, tests the entire range of pesticides (at least 500 types) and has higher requirements for the quality in herbs. In the EU, there are only a few laboratories like that and the prices for their services are rightly high. Today, it is therefore very important to know which laboratory tests the dietary supplement and what the tests are focused on; if each batch and each herb are tested, or just a random sample, for how many pesticides, how many added ingredients and how many additional binding agents the product contains, etc. – otherwise consumers could be easily deceived and disappointed (you can find more details at Safety and Quality of TCM Herbs Products).
All our herbal products are tested in a certified laboratory for medicines.
The above information implies that herbal tablets and drinks of TCM Herbs are, in terms of quantity (concentration of herbs in the mixture is 5 times higher, i.e. 1 g of a herbal tablet equals 5 g of raw herbs) and quality (unprecedented testing of each batch), among the best products we can imagine and enjoy in terms of today’s natural medicines.
