"For 800 years, Deyuantang, regarding the inscription as the principle and regulation of its business, has treated and cured countless sick persons. Having experienced various vicissitudes, in 1995, Deyuantang was rejuvenated, reconstructed and transformed by a group of modern pharmacists into a new brand of pharmaceutical business, which combines the secret recipe of Traditional Chinese medicine with modern science and technology. In a short time of only several years, Deyuantang has become a modernized pharmaceutical group that incorporates R&D, production and marketing of the products.
