In present day Taiwan, most of the Chinese medicine used is imported from the mainland. Every store claims that its medicinal ingredients are the "real thing." Even if they are genuine, if the manufacturing process is taken lightly, the effectiveness will be discounted. There may even be toxins left behind, and the consumer will be the victim.
現今台灣用藥，多是從大陸進口的，每家都號稱是「地道藥材」，且不管是否地道，倘若製藥過程輕忽，以致藥效不彰，甚或殘留毒素，受害的可就是消費者了。
