Herbs play a very central role in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Chinese herbal tradition recognizes a very wide range of natural remedies, which are classified according to their specific properties. These wonderful herbs are said to have qualities such as warming, cooling, tonifying, calming and many more. Plants have specific components such as roots, bark, leaves, wood, twigs, flowers, fruits and seeds that can be used for their medicinal properties. To harness the natural power of these plants, the herbs are either boiled with water or soaked in oil or alcohol. The herbal extracts obtained can then be taken as a tea or tincture or applied externally, for example in the form of lotions, creams, massage oils and similar products.

The aim of every treatment is to create harmony between yin and yang in the human body. Our products therefore incorporate the concept of harmonizing and strengthening the body. Use the millennia-old knowledge of the power of herbs to restore the balance of yin and yang and thus eliminate disharmony.

In traditional Chinese medicine, granules are used as a form of medicine. They are concentrated extracts of medicinal herbs in powder form. Granules are prepared by mixing the powder with hot water. The solution is ingested warm.

Extract granules are a patient-friendly alternative to raw herbs. Due to their ease of use, the granules have become popular with the majority of our customers. In Europe, granules are the most widely used form of TCM medicine; an estimated 75-80 percent of all prescriptions are taken in granule form. LIAN has over 500 granule products in its range to meet the needs of the Swiss and EU markets.

Overall, granules play an important role in Chinese medicine in the treatment of various health problems and are used as a supplement to other therapies.
