Essential Balm Has Been Trusted Globally for Generations

For more than one century, Shanghai Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has been a trusted name in the pharmaceutical world. Of the many trusted brands within our portfolio, the Essential Balm holds a very special place – a place within our company history and a cherished position within the hearts of millions around the world who have relied on it for generations.

Available in over 80 countries worldwide

Although it has its roots strongly embedded in Shanghai, the Essential Balm is recognized and trusted in over 80 countries and regions throughout the whole world. In the busiest Asian mega cities to the most rural European villages, the African plains to the American continent, this reliable product has slipped in the hands of a large number of people in the world in their homes, bags, pockets, etc.

This phenomenal coverage did not happen in a day. In 1987, our Temple of Heaven Essential Balm was exported as the only product and it was awarded the Gold Medal in the Leipzig International Trade Fair, which cemented our position as a market leader in terms of traditional Chinese medicine in the world markets. Since that first breakthrough, our distribution network has continued to expand to cover the Nordic countries, North America, Japan and Eastern Europe, whereby more and more people have learned to rely on the consistency and reliability of our product.

Recognized as a household remedy in Asia and beyond

In Asia, the Essential Balm is a well-established household remedy, but the tradition has also grown to be relied upon in regions beyond the East. In the home, this is the remedy parents give to their children, grandparents to their grandchildren. While it has always traveled as the quintessential traveling companion for so many throughout Asia, it is increasingly being recognized as an essential in medicine cabinets and travelers’ kits globally. Such is its recognition that it has earned the endearing title of "Oriental Magic Medicine," a name that perfectly captures its efficacy and the affection that it inspires.

Continuously produced using the same classic formula

One of the most enduring attributes of the Essential Balm is its unwavering consistency. For over a century, this product has been continuously produced using the same exact classic formula. In an age where so many products are re-formulated, re-branded, and repackaged constantly, this time-honored approach is surely one of the many reasons why the Essential Balm continues to be such a reliable remedy – what worked for parents now works for their children.

The Essential Balm's formula is protected as national secret technology in recognition of its cultural and historical importance, representing the confidence placed in the formula by centuries of satisfied users and health experts. This is a tradition we continue to uphold. The company looks forward to remaining a leader in the pharmaceutical and health industry and implementing the big health philosophy into a range of product lines while always remembering our history and tradition. The Essential Balm has been a world-trusted generations old-and will be.

Going forward, we are determined to be a pharmaceutical and healthcare industry leader and implement the concept of big health in various product lines without forgetting the legacy of our heritage. The Essential Balm has been the generation-tested choice of the world--and we hope it will stay so many generations to come.
