Dai Jingzhang, medical director of the TCM Clinic, says that Germany has very stringent standards governing the inspection of Chinese herbal medicines. A great many medicinal herbs that have been tested and approved in Beijing fail to be approved in Germany. This poses the problem for the clinic that when different medicinal herbs have to be substituted, it cannot be ruled out that the efficacy of the treatment will be diminished.
主任醫師戴京璋表示，德國對中國草藥進口檢查標準十分嚴苛，很多已在北京通過藥檢的草藥，在這裡都過不了關，因此在被迫替換藥材的情況下，不排除減低藥效的可能性。
