Description according to traditional Chinese medicine: This is a modification of the original traditional Chinese herbal mixture DAO CHI WAN, adjusted to meet today’s needs. This herbal mixture eliminates excessive heat, usually generated from emotions, from the heart pathway XIN RE/HUO. The heart is connected to the small intestine and urinary bladder pathways and, similarly to communicating vessels, this heat also appears on those pathways. That is why the symptoms and problems in case of heat and fire conflagration in the heart XIN RE/HUO are varied – if the heart pathway which controls the soul SHEN is impaired, the following symptoms appear: irritability, restlessness, feeling hot and tight on the chest, red and flushed face, thirst for cold drinks, insomnia, nightmares in children or too “active and restless” children. The heart pathway has inner links to the oral cavity (because the tongue and the mouth are “offshoots of the heart”), so it may result in the occurrence of aphtha or inflammatory ulcers, gingivitis, periodontosis, toothache or bitterness in the mouth in the morning. If heat RE moves from the heart pathway to the small intestine and then to the urinary bladder, with both pathways responsible for secreting urine from the organism, this harmful heat “dries urine and burns small blood vessels”, resulting in difficulty urinating, including painful, stinging urination, short urination of dark urine and blood in urine. What is typical for these recurring problems with urination (chronic “inflammation” of the urinary tract) is that they are not actual inflammations, they only behave like that – they are abacterial, i.e. without a pathological finding of bacteria and signs of inflammation in urine and in the blood!

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.
