In China, Chinese drug therapy is by far the most important treatment method. It treats 80–90% of all diseases. It is the most versatile and comprehensive therapy method in Chinese medicine. These medicines are exclusively natural, more than ninety percent of them of plant origin.
Chinese drug therapy in its current form is a safe method of therapy. However, the prerequisite is the professional application by well-trained and further trained therapists and the use of a guaranteed drug quality.
The assurance of drug quality is ensured in Germany by dispensing in specialized pharmacies. They check Chinese medicines for identity, quality and purity. In independent special laboratories, the plants are examined for contamination with heavy metals, pesticides and moulds.
The Center for Therapy Safety in Chinese Drug Therapy (CTCA) strives for a safe therapy with Chinese medicines.
