Traditional Chinese Medicine is over 3,000 years old. Throughout this time it was the primary healthcare system in China. It is based upon natural principles and utilizes the bounty of nature to provide solutions to ailing bodies and minds. The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia is the most intact, documented, and researched medicine in the world. Where most herbal traditions relied upon oral transmission to perpetuate their knowledge throughout time, the Chinese created libraries and medical institutions dedicated to the study and preservation of Chinese herbal remedies. It is for this reason that we can benefit from thousands of years of herbal knowledge and a natural approach to wellness.

For thousands of years, the Chinese gathered herbs directly from nature according to season and bioavailability. Only in recent years have Chinese herbs become agriculturally dependent for commercial use. Organic Pagoda is proud to use a supplier that grows over 400 certified organic Chinese herbs. Many of these herbs are gathered from nature and harvested according to traditional methods. The herbs that are grown on farms are cultivated in soil that has never been polluted by pesticides or fertilizers and as a result do not contain heavy metals or chemical residues. The crops are rotated to prevent depletion of the soil and to enhance the nutrition of the land.
