In a society with a highly developed economy, the pace of life has accelerated, the environment has deteriorated, interpersonal relationships have become increasingly complex, and stress has become overwhelming—all of which have profoundly affected the mental and physical health of modern people. Additionally, due to the severe pollution of nature’s air, soil, and water sources, it is no longer possible to cultivate naturally grown medicinal herbs. The market is flooded with Chinese herbal medicines contaminated with pesticide and heavy metal residues. Even so-called "family-secret recipes" regarded as treasured heirlooms or hard-to-attain "imperial secret formulas" suffer damage from unscrupulous merchants who falsify and produce counterfeit ingredients. Rather than benefiting from these, people often suffer adverse consequences, leading to imbalanced health and premature aging. Recognizing this problem, East Power Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. fully committed to developing the herbal food market and organic (toxin-free) vegetable hot pots in 2008. After more than a year of continuous innovation and research into various beneficial ingredients, the company’s East Power Vegetarian Pot first went on trial display in May 2009, receiving overwhelming positive feedback.
