Impack of new herb law from 1st May 2011:
The new EU herb law bans importing of "unlicensed" Chinese herbal medicine from 1st May 2011. This unfair law does affect all of our ready made over the counter products, include herbal teas. Although we are entitled to "sell through" stock, but once we run out of stock, we cannot get any new supplies. We have very sadly sold out some of our herbals and cannot be replaced. If this herbal law has not been reversed, like other retailers, we will sell out every products soon or late.

This new herb law ingores the fact that Chinese herbal medicine are very safe, it has been used by billions of Chinese people and over thousands years. All of these products we sell were manufactured by GMP (Good manufacturing practice) certified manufacturers, these manufacturers have licences issued and regulated by China state food and drug administration. Some manufacturers are also received GMP Certificate from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) of Australia, or has NSF International certificate (to meet or exceed the US FDA's GMP guidelines) (see details at "Quality Assurance") .
