明代著名医药学家，被后世尊为“药圣”的李时珍在其著作 - 《本草纲目》中提到：“凡服汤药，虽品物专精，修治如法，而煎药者鲁莽造次，水火不良，火候失度，则药亦无功”。简而言之，“煎药”在养生调理和治疗疾病的过程中扮演关键的角色。从煎药的器皿、火候，到下药顺序、熬煮时间等丝毫都不得马虎，否则再好的药方和材料都将遭其破坏。The Perfect Series （草药保健王）的出现就是为了解决市场上的这些痛点。我们在中草药领域摸爬打滚已超过30年，深知一些优秀的草药因煎煮不当而失去宝贵的价值。有些业者甚至把草药烘干磨粉，直接装入胶囊制为成药。须知草药未经煎煮可能含有毒性，且药性也无法发挥。

Li ShiZhen was a well-known medical scientist during the Ming Dynasty and was honoured as the “Sage of Medicine” in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In one of his most renowned writings, the “Compendium of Materia Medica,” the herbs need to be cooked in the correct method; if not, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine. The decoction of Chinese Herbal Medicine plays a very vital role in health conditioning and treatment. From the use of proper cookware, heat control, even to trivial matters such as order of putting in the herbs, cooking timing, etc. are all to be done properly and not sloppily, or else the best prescriptions and ingredients will be ruined!

Therefore, the products from The Perfect Series (‘TPS’) are here to help to address some of these common issues faced in prescribing Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Perfect Series products have been in the Chinese Herbs market for over three decades. Our experience tells us that even some of the most precious herbs will lose their ingenious nutritional values caused by improper decoction! Some of the manufacturers or practitioners even simply condensed these herbs into granular or powdered capsules. We ought to understand the fact that in some cases, certain herbs which are not decocted or cooked properly may be poisonous, and some of its medical efficacy will be affected too!
