What does the business scope of medical herbal therapy preparations include

The first is herbal medical dressings, external liniments, gels and other products that have obtained official brand approvals, and the second is traditional Chinese medicine in-hospital herbal preparations approved by the provincial Food and Drug Administration, but such preparations can only be used within approved medical institutions. For use, they cannot be circulated and sold externally. Ordinary retail entities cannot operate such products. The third is herbal medical disinfection and antibacterial preparations registered with the health department. Ordinary makeup and food herbal products are generally not included in this business scope.

When I was helping a community TCM clinic near my home to expand its business scope, I encountered an error. The boss wanted to include the herbal health teas he sells in this category, but the staff at the window called him back on the spot. He said that ordinary food under the Shi brand name did not even meet the threshold of "medical use."

At present, there is also a vague area in the industry that is not clear, that is, can imported essence products for medical beauty, which mainly focus on herbal extraction, be included in this business scope? The regulatory authorities in some places are very strict. Only products of Category II and above are recognized. Cosmetic brands are all included in the business scope of ordinary cosmetics. In some places, as long as they can provide relevant proof of clinical use of the product in medical institutions, they are also allowed to be included. There is no unified implementation standard, and there are quite a few people who fall into the trap.

To be honest, if you are planning to add this business scope, don’t just check various opinions on the Internet. It is best to print out the approval documents of all the products you plan to operate in advance and go directly to the window of the local Municipal Supervision Bureau to ask. Last month, I helped a friend who opened a physical therapy center to add the project. I sorted out the approval documents for the herbal moxibustion liquid and herbal medical antipyretic gel in advance. After the staff checked, there were no problems, and the procedures were completed on the same day, saving you the trouble of going back and forth.

If you are really too lazy to run, you can also look at the prefix of the approval number on the product packaging in your hand. Those with "mechanical", "pharmaceutical" and "disposal" basically meet the requirements. There is a high probability that "food" and "cosmetic" will not be included. Don't add categories randomly based on luck. If you are really found to be operating outside the scope, you will be fined tens of thousands for rectification at least. If you are not guilty, you will be fined tens of thousands.
