Description according to traditional Chinese medicine: This herbal mixture mostly cools down heat in the blood RE XUE; the English name (Cool Blood), referring also to being cool, means being calm, balanced, keeping some distance, maintaining a cool head and not letting things irritate you. This best describes the mode of action and the effects of this mixture. Heat RE and fire HUO are mostly caused by excessive or suppressed emotions, “hot” food or harmful energy pushed from the surface to the depth (improperly administered antibiotics, corticoids, vaccination…). Similarly, some people may have a constitutional (inborn) disposition for heat, which is especially visible in little children who are “hot-blooded” and overheat easily. According to Chinese medicine, there is a very small difference between heat RE and fire HUO because “heat is a diminished fire and fire is the ultimate heat”. In case of attack on the first layer of WEI, superficial and defensive, is attacked, when symptoms of a beginning influenza appear, this mixture is not suitable. The mixture is priceless when other, deeper layers are attacked. When the second layer of heat QI is attacked, mostly from the stomach and lung pathway (e.g. tonsillitis, bronchitis), the symptoms include thirst, fever and yellow, dry coat on the tongue. If harmful heat attacks the nutrition layer YING (third layer of heat RE), the symptoms are fever, culminating at night, restlessness and skin rash (e.g. pneumonia, eczema). If harmful heat attacks the blood layer XUE (the deepest, fourth layer of heat RE), the tongue is dark red (similarly to scarlet fever in children), purple-red spots and rashes appear on the skin, sometimes with ravings, consciousness disorders and bleeding in different body parts – bleeding from eczema, bleeding under the skin, bleeding nose, coughing up blood, vomiting blood, blood in the stools, bleeding from haemorrhoids, blood in urine, sudden or persistent menstrual bleeding (e.g. psoriasis, chronic eczema, meningitis). Many times, and quite often in life, it is necessary to “cool down hot blood and hot heads and to tame not only the hot-blooded horse to find health again…”.

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.
