[Green Circle Speaks Across the Border] What is the Only Chinese Herbal Medicine Entered by the U.S. FDA?

What are the only herbs that the FDA has entered?

The U.S. FDA is one of the most authoritative drug regulatory agencies in the world, and its approval and scrutiny of Chinese herbal medicines is extremely stringent. Among many Chinese herbal medicines, only one Chinese herbal medicine has passed the U.S. FDA's scrutiny and become the only Chinese herbal medicine allowed to enter the U.S. market. So, what exactly is this Chinese herbal medicine?

This herb is ginseng, which is the only herb approved by the U.S. FDA to enter the U.S. market. Widely used in Chinese medicine, ginseng is known as the "king of all herbs" and has high medical and nutritional value. Ginseng not only replenishes qi and blood, strengthens the spleen and stomach, but also improves immunity, strengthens the body's resistance, improves fatigue and promotes metabolism.

However, even such a highly scrutinized herb needs to undergo a series of tests and examinations before it can enter the U.S. market. The FDA requires that imported ginseng meet certain quality standards and undergo rigorous testing and certification to ensure its safety and efficacy. This is a manifestation of the FDA's stringent approach to Chinese herbal medicines, and it also serves to protect the health and safety of consumers.

Because of its importance and value, ginseng has long been highly regarded by governments and scientists. In the U.S., ginseng is being used not only as a medicinal herb, but also in a wide range of health products and foods. The market outlook for ginseng is very promising, and brings great opportunities for the Chinese ginseng industry.

However, the value and status of ginseng has led to the emergence of products of varying quality in the market. Some manufacturers, in pursuit of profits, have falsely advertised or added unknown ingredients to ginseng and improperly processed it, which not only jeopardizes consumers' rights and interests, but also affects the image and reputation of the entire ginseng industry. Therefore, we urge consumers to be careful when choosing ginseng products and to avoid buying fake or shoddy products to protect their health and rights.

In conclusion, ginseng, the only Chinese medicinal material that has been approved by the U.S. FDA, is not only a valuable Chinese medicinal material, but also a valuable resource for the world's medical science. Its entry into the U.S. market not only signifies the internationalization of Chinese herbal medicines, but also opens a new door for cooperation and exchange between China and the U.S. in the field of medicine. It is believed that ginseng will shine brighter on the world stage in the near future.
