The Dragons Mission
In
Ancient China, the Dragon was revered as a link between Heaven and
Earth. If one was lucky enough to spot a Blue Dragon, it was an omen
of approaching Spring, when Nature, Earth and Humans renew
themselves and grow to fulfill their potential. In his claws, the
Dragon holds a gift for humanity. It is a Pearl, the Pearl of
Wisdom.
Quality Chinese Herbs is dedicated to bringing to the West a few
Pearls of Wisdom, the knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and
the understanding of how to use herbs to make all of us healthier,
stronger, more relaxed and clear thinking, and perhaps even a little
wiser.
At Quality Chinese Herbs, we use only the purest, highest quality,
organic or low pesticide-residue and sulfur free herbs for our full
spectrum herbal extracts. Most of the herbs used in production come
directly from China and are harvested from specific bio-regions
according to ancient cultural traditions. Five to ten pounds of raw
herbs are concentrated to make just one pound of highly potent
extract, using a low temperature vacuum evaporation process which
preserves the integrity of all the active ingredients. Standardized
extractions of a few non-Chinese herbs, such as Milk Thistle from
Europe, Gymnema from India and Ginkgo Biloba from the U.S., have
been added to several of the formulas when appropriate to boost
their strength and potency.
In
the Liquid Extract line of products, Quality Chinese Herbs uses a
time-tested extraction process that utilizes all natural solvents.
No hexane or ethers are used in production. All formulas are in a
low alcohol and vegetable glycerice base. The percentage of alcohol
has been kept at 22%, much lower than the up to 60% alcohol content
of some herbal tinctures. When the bitterness or the alcohol is
blended with the sweetness of the vegetable gylcerine (a natural
by-product of olive oil extraction) the two tastes balance or cancel
each other out, leaving an elixir that has neither the bitterness
and harshness of the alcohol nor the overly sweet taste found in
pure glycerine based products. This blending allows the delicate
aroma and subtle flavours of the herbs to come through and be
appreciated.
Dragons are the most beautiful, wise, and powerful creatures ever
known to man. They are the Angels of the Orient, but they only
reveal themselves and share their wisdom and power with those who
truly believe. Look to the sky and in your heart for your Blue
Dragon. |
