Our Company

The Classical Pearls Herbal Formulas™ product line is an organic offspring of Dr. Heiner Fruehauf's prolific career in the research, teaching, and practice of Chinese medicine. Heiner is at the forefront of a global movement to return to the true roots of Chinese medicine. Lectures and articles by Dr. Fruehauf and like-minded scholars can be viewed at www.classicalchinesemedicine.org.

The production of Classical Pearls Herbal Formulas™ is tended by a team of herb experts who seek to apply the highest possible standards to the quality, purity, and effectiveness of Chinese herb formulations. Each formula is consistent with the principles elucidated in the classical texts of our medicine, and has been fine-tuned in Dr. Fruehauf’s Hai Shan Clinic for modern patients suffering from the complex diseases of our times.

Herbal medicine was once the only modality to cure serious diseases. Today, the intricate alchemical principles and the experience based approach of traditional herbal science has become overshadowed by laboratory parameters—often to the detriment of clinical results. It is the mission of Classical Pearls to launch a return to the classical and clinic-based roots of Chinese herbal medicine:

• Emphasis on the alchemical integrity of classical formulas
• Focus on the synergistic “fusion” effect of herb combining
• Integrating the deepest classical level of understanding organ network physiology
• Attention to inherent yin-yang balance in formula design
• Flexible, experience based modification approach that addresses the clinical problems of our day
• Preservation of effective herbal approaches that are in danger of getting lost
• Highest standards of ingredient purity
• Promotion of traditional alchemical growing technique
