What are the brands of medical herbal therapy preparations

Currently, among the domestically approved medical herbal therapy preparations, the ones that everyone comes into contact with on a daily basis are mainly the herbal lines of well-established pharmaceutical companies such as Yunnan Baiyao, Pien Tze Huang, and Beijing Tong Ren Tang, as well as herbal medical preparations launched by medical beauty dressing brands such as Fuljia and Kefumei. There are also many niche brands that focus on niche scenarios and are circulated in a small area.

Many people tend to confuse herbal products from ordinary daily cosmetics lines with medical-grade ones. When I was stationed at a chain pharmacy last year, I would meet three or four people every week asking if they could use cosmetic-branded herbal face creams and hand creams as medical products. In fact, the approval standards for the two are far different. Medical herbal preparations must undergo strict clinical effectiveness and safety verification. There are clear requirements for the purification accuracy of raw materials and impurity limits. Allergenic ingredients such as flavors and preservatives cannot be added casually.

When it comes to brand selection, there are actually different voices in the industry. Many skin managers prefer to recommend some niche brands of medical herbal preparations, especially for niche problems such as eczema and postoperative redness. Many niche brands focus on a certain type of ingredients for deep purification. For example, they only make high-purity shikonin and madecassoside products, with clean formulas and highly targeted products. I once met a child who suffered from eczema all year round. He used a niche brand of medical lithosperm ointment, and the seepage disappeared in about a week. Before, the regular model from a big brand had only average results. However, many clinical dermatologists prefer to choose products from established pharmaceutical companies. They believe that the supply chain stability of niche brands is insufficient and the purity of raw materials in different batches may fluctuate. The production standards of established pharmaceutical companies are more unified, quality control is more guaranteed, and the probability of being cheated is lower.

When choosing, you don’t need to worry too much about the brand size. The most important thing is to first look at the registration certificate number of the device brand on the product packaging. Go to the official website of the Food and Drug Administration to search for serious medical-grade products. Don’t be dismissed by merchants as “herbal medical”. The product was a scam. A while ago, a customer came in with a product called "Medical Herbal Anti-Acne Cream". I checked and found out that it was actually a makeup brand. It also contained illegally added hormones. After using it for less than half a month, my face started to get red and break out repeatedly. It was not worth the loss. Moreover, the main directions of different brands are also different. For example, Yunnan Baiyao's medical herbal preparations are more aimed at problems such as bruises and oral ulcers. Pien Tze Huang's is more anti-inflammatory and soothing. Most of the herbal lines of medical beauty brands are aimed at repairing after medical art and caring for sensitive skin. You can choose according to your needs. There is no need to blindly chase expensive ones.
