EFFECTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF TIAN XIAN LIQUID ON THE BODY

The clinical effects of Tian Xian Liquid have been discussed extensively in the previous chapters. In this chapter, I would like to explain the individual effects of each of the components of Tian Xian Liquid. As mentioned earlier, however, only 95% of the composition of Tian Xian Liquid have been revealed, and the remaining 5% are classified as a national secret by the Chinese government. The components listed below pertain, therefore, to the 95% of the formula that may be freely disclosed.
