The name ShiZhen
may be unfamiliar to many, but to anyone familiar with Traditional Chinese
Medicine the name is well known. For ShiZhen was a very remarkable person. Dr
ShiZhen Li lived long ago in the Ming dynasty. He was born into a medical
family in 1518 and died in 1593. He went into the mountains to collect herbs
and to learn from farmers. He spent over 30 years writing and eventually he
completed the book ´Ben Cao Gang Mu´. It has 190, 000 words, which recorded
1892 herbs, over 10,000 prescriptions and over 1,000 detailed drawings in 52
volumes. At the time his work greatly enriched the scope of herbal treatments,
and it influenced the worlds medical science and plant botany. His work has
been developed and the modern Materia Medica documents over six thousand
substances. Dr ShiZhen Li lived to 75 years, a very advanced age at the time.
In Chinese thinking any year after the age of 70 is considered a precious year.
The name ShiZhen has come to mean ´precious time´or ´precious life´.
Named after an
inspiring figure in the history of Chinese Medicine, ShiZhen´s joint purpose is
to supply fine quality, value for money, herbal products to the industry and
