What is the Difference of Single Herbal Granules and Formula Herbal Pills?
Chinese herbal prescriptions are either tailored to fit the individual patient or designed to fit general conditions. For the individual patient, Chinese pharmacists measure single ingredients on hand-held scales, mixing formulas for individual patient to take home and brew into tea. But for the general conditions, there are lots of ready-made formulas herbs prepared in manufactories and sold in apothecary shops, side by side with individual herbs. The patent herbal formulas are grown in remote rural herbal mountains and farms deep inside China. and they come in variety of shapes and forms, easy-to-swallow herbal balls, pills, tablets, capsules, liquid, or tea extracts, which are then processed from raw herbal plants, roots, bottled or packaged. Because they are ready to use without cooking, they are convenient and welcomed in the modern society.
