Phytotherapy – TCM

Individually customized medicine for the specific needs of a patient

The medicine of TCM is completely natural. It contains no chemical nor other artificial ingredients. The traditional Chinese medicine differs greatly from conventional academic medicine. Rather than only treating the symptoms – as classic academic medicine does – the Chinese medicine focuses on the source of the problem. This approach also applies to the preparation of medicines of TCM.

The pharmacy in Bad Ragaz is a reliable partner of Concept of Health. Due to the intensive collaboration with Concept of Health and the Chinese administrative department for TCM in Chinas capital Beijing, Bad Ragaz has more than 400 selected products available, imported directly from the People’s Republic of China.

Only the products from certified manufacturers and accepted by the World Health Organization. In Switzerland, they undertake more controls to ensure that all products accord to the requirements of Swissmedic.

The Chinese herbs are separately packed dry extracts that are mixed with hot water to drink. The recipes differ each time and can contain up to 15 different dry extracts, each within a single sachet. Packing them this way has several advantages: simplified dosage, hygienic storage and long shelf life.

The taste is often perceived as very bitter, since most medicinal plants and their roots are bitter. For patients that wish for an easier intake, the recipes can be filled into capsules manually.
