Chinese firm approved to produce five herbal patches

NEW YORK China’s State Food and Drug Administration has granted approval to China Sky One Medical to produce five herbal patches.

These include patches for scars, migraines, eyes, coronary heart disease and smoking. The company said the patches don’t carry side effects because they are made from herbal extracts.

The company markets the Oriental Slim Patch, which combines Chinese medicinal plants with modern technology, and a pain-relief patch that the company says will also relieve diarrhea.

China Sky One Medical has headquarters in Los Angeles. Its holding company is Harbin Tian Di Ren Medical Science and Technology, based in Harbin, China.
