In its early days, the brand leveraged the abundant herbal resources of the Lingnan region and traditional processing techniques to develop a distinctive pharmaceutical style. The founder, whose name awaits verification, was an expert in materia medica, emphasizing the authenticity of herbs and precise processing methods. The pills, powders, ointments, and pellets produced gained local acclaim.
