Asian-produced herbal remedies often contain dangerous heavy metal levels

Evidence

In the case of Ayurvedic or Chinese medicine, I advise that they ask the person who prescribes them where they get them from and how safe the standard of these preparations is. If they are produced in Europe, they at least meet certain quality standards; if they come from China or India, they often contain dangerous levels of heavy metals. — Holm Gero Hümmler, Ulrike Schiesser, Fact and Prejudice, 650
