What are the best brands of medical herbal therapy preparations

Based on the cases and patient feedback I have come across in the past five or six years as a clinical nurse, most of the current medical herbal therapy preparations with online compliance and reputation are concentrated in the product lines of Yunnan Baiyao, Tongrentang, Pien Tze Huang, and Fuljia.

We need to clarify the premise first. The medical herbal preparations we are talking about are not ordinary herbal skin care products and health products. They are products that must obtain a medical device registration number and have production standards that meet medical grade requirements. Don’t count those miscellaneous brands sold by WeChat merchants. For example, I received a college student from the emergency room who sprained his foot while playing badminton. It was so swollen that he couldn't even put on shoes. He was prescribed Yunnan Baiyao herbal aerosol. He sprayed it 4 times that day and was able to move slowly the next day. Its herbal transdermal absorption process is indeed unique, but there are also a few patients with alcohol allergies who report that they become red and itchy after spraying it. It is best to test the sensitivity on the inside of the wrist before using it.

If it is a medical herbal preparation for the skin, Fuljia’s centella asiatica dressing is the standard for my friends who are postgraduates in medicine and art. Last time I had fractional laser treatment on my own, my face burned so badly that I applied it for three days, and the redness faded at least two days faster than using ordinary cold compresses. Oh my god, I was chatting with the director of the dermatology department a while ago, and she also mentioned that the role of this type of dressing is more to assist repair. If you have seborrheic dermatitis or severe acne, don't expect to rely on it to cure the disease. You still have to follow the doctor's advice and use targeted drugs.

If you need herbal preparations for internal regulation or auxiliary treatment of chronic diseases, Tong Ren Tang and Pien Tze Huang have higher clinical recognition. For example, Tong Ren Tang herbal aerosol liquid is commonly used in respiratory departments. Many patients with chronic bronchitis have trouble sleeping due to coughing in autumn and winter. If they use it for a week according to the doctor's advice, the cough and asthma can be relieved a lot. Pien Tze Huang's There is a lot of clinical data to support the effect of herbal topical ointments on improving neuralgia and unknown swelling and pain after herpes zoster. However, the prices of these two brands of products are indeed not low, and there are many imitations on the market. Don’t go to the three-no live broadcast room to buy them. It is best to go to hospital pharmacies or regular chain pharmacies.

Of course, I have also encountered many patients who say that medical herbal preparations are IQ-taxed. They feel that the content of active ingredients is low and it is better to use chemical drugs directly. This statement is not unfounded - many of the off-brand medical herbal products made by small factories just add some herbal extracts as a marketing gimmick. The actual active ingredients are very small. Whether they can work depends on luck. The Yunnan Baiyao aerosol and Fuljia centella asiatica dressings that I stock at home all the year round are the only ones I keep after trying them several times and they are really useful. When choosing, don’t just look at the brand. You must first check whether there is a formal registration of the brand name. It is best to ask professional medical care for advice. The one that suits your symptoms is really good.
