Why Yaomedica Tinctures?

 

Brief introduction to our company

YaoMedica is the MycoMedica brand’s younger sister which has been active on the Czech and Slovak markets since 2010.

When we were founding the company, we decided to use  quality ingredients and make products which would be effective and provide real help to people.”

Why should I choose Yao Medica tinctures?

YaoMedica is a new line of alcoholic tinctures whose composition is based on  traditional Chinese medicine herbal formulas. 
 
Four thousand years’ worth of experience and proven methods strengthen our conviction that traditional Chinese medicine has its place in modern times. The interest in it has been on the rise due to its holistic view of humans, i.e. a comprehensive perception of the human body, as a whole and at the same time as a part of the environment.

Yao means “medicinal” – for example, in relation to herbs, minerals, or mussels. Chinese medicine rarely uses individual herbs to treat health issues separately; it rather always combines several varieties which are brewed or macerated together. The desired effect can be achieved only as a result of interaction between individual ingredients.

Chinese phytotherapy knows several types of Yao processing. Brews are used most frequently, where herbs are boiled in water for 20 minutes. Wan pills are another alternative, with Yao being extracted and pressed into small balls. Tinctures (also called “medicinal wines” in ancient China) are the third processing method, relying on the alcohol effects.

The use of alcohol as a part of tincture production has its justification as alcohol makes it easier to extract active substances from individual Yaos, and at the same time aids their absorption by the human body. It’s been discovered that the quantity of active substances extracted with alcohol is larger than that released during the production of wans, for example.

Furthermore, alcohol itself is very yang in nature, and therefore strongly stimulates blood circulation, relaxes muscles or joints, and releases tension from the entire body. When combined with herbs, alcohol boosts vitality and soothes pain. This was known to people (medicine men, healers, physicians) as early as ancient times. Marks engraved on a fortune-teller’s bones which date back to the Shang dynasty (1765–1122 BC) are considered to be the oldest herbal recipe in China. References to tinctures can be also found in the surviving works of old masters. For example, Zhang Zhong Jing included alcohol in several of his famous recipes, while master Sun Si Miao used over 80 tinctures to treat his patients.
 
 
 

 

Quality ingredients guarantee quality products

Our company’s policy is simple, but clear: We make and sell products which are: qualitysafe, and most importantly effective. That’s why we only work with suppliers of the highest-quality ingredients. We want to guarantee that our products are as effective as possible, and at the same time take care to make sure they contain no hazardous substances.

Processing methods are supervised each day

Medicinal ingredients are ground into a very fine powder, soaked in 50% alcohol, and macerated for a month. The macerated extract is dynamised, i.e. daily handled so that as many active substances are released as possible. The resulting tinctures aren’t diluted in any way, unlike those offered by many other producers. This helps us achieve maximum effectiveness.
 
 
 
 

No additives

Alcohol is an excellent preservative which is why it isn’t necessary for our tinctures to contain any other preservatives or stabilisers. Therefore, tinctures are made out of nothing else but medicinal ingredients and pure alcohol.
