Description according to traditional Chinese medicine: This is a modification of the original traditional Chinese herbal mixture YI GAN WAN, adjusted to meet today’s needs. This harmonizing herbal mixture is used in Chinese medicine for conditions of imbalance between the liver pathway and the spleen pathway. It adjusts the excessive energy on the liver pathway GAN which suppresses and pushes away the spleen pathway PI. An excess of energy on the liver pathway GAN results in turbulence and later in the formation of inner wind NEI FENG – it can be compared to a pressure cooker which needs to let the steam out from time to time. From time toe time this inner wind NEI FENG causes epileptic seizures and convulsions, bruxism or convulsions that occur with fever. Likewise, the soul SHEN, which is seated in the heart XIN at daytime and in the liver GAN at night according to Chinese medicine, is restless because of the heat on the liver pathway GAN RE, which is manifested e.g. by nightmares, hysteria, restless sleep, palpitations with anxiety, etc. Due to the suppressed spleen pathway PI, it does not work properly because it cannot produce sufficient qi energy QI XU and blood XUE XU, which is then manifested by flatulence and nausea. This harmonizing mixture is mostly used by children. It should be administered in the long term, at least for 2-3 months.

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.
