Description according to traditional Chinese medicine: This is a modification of the original traditional Chinese herbal mixture YU QUAN WAN, adjusted to meet today’s needs. Diabetes is becoming a civilization diseases in our parts. In China it is called the “thirsty and wasting diseases” as it is manifested by excessive thirst and urination. Diabetic patients are thin, with a dry mouth and a red, sometimes cracked tongue. According to Chinese medicine this is always caused by deficient yin YIN XU (“basic bodily fluids”), which results in an increase in yang YANG SHI and therefore an increase in internal heat RE. This is manifested by symptoms such as hot flashes, dry mouth, skin and hair, dry cough, etc. Diabetes affects the yin of the lungs, the stomach and the kidneys FEI/WEI/SHEN YIN XU most often and these symptoms are ranked according to the site of occurrence. An impairment of the lung yin FEI YIN XU results in excessive thirst with a dry mouth and throat. An impairment of the stomach yin WEI YIN XU leads to excessive hunger, emaciation and fatigue. Deficient kidney yin SHEN YIN XU features excessive urination with night sweats, pains in the lower back and red cheeks. Sometimes only one area is affected, at other times there are various combinations or all areas can be affected at the same time. In such cases the treatment consists in feeding the deficient yin YIN XU and cooling down the heat RE in all 3 areas and in strengthening and topping up the energy of the organism. That is what this herbal mixture is for. It also adjusts the blood sugar level, stabilizes diseases and prevents secondary complications during diabetes such as insufficient blood supply to the limbs, loss of sight and damage to peripheral nerves.

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.
