Founded on 1405, the Heniantang Chinese medicine store was the first herbal medicine shop in Chinese history. After hundreds of years of research and development, it has exploited over 100 medicated food, 150 kinds of herbal rice soup, 40 types of medicated herbal soup. Most of them come from the secret recipes of the imperial family and secret fold remedies.

He Nian Tang was originally a name of hall in the garden of Yan Song, the prime minister of Ming Dynasty. Later the tablet was drifted out of Yan’s residence, and the name became the title of the drug store.

Heniantang Drug Store, located at Caishikou, was founded in late Jiajing Period of Ming Dynasty. Caishikou was the execution ground in Qing Dynasty; the Drug Store once received execution supervisors. In Culture Revolution, it was renamed as People’s Drug Store. After the Gang of Four was crushed, it changed into the previous name. The store was good at processing of dictation and shredded Chinese medicine, as well as carefully-selected materials.

There was such a saying in Beijing, “Tong Ren Tang’s pill, powder, paste and pellet, He Nian Tang’s dictation, compound and shredded medicine.” The strict rules and regulations ensured the quality of service.

Another statement says that the name Heniantang came from its founder, Ding Henian, a famous Hui poet of the Ming Dynasty. A characteristic feature of Chinese medication is its "Yangsheng" conception, an idea that refers to the improvement of health and prolonging of life through the proper ways of caring for and nurturing one's body and mind. This conception is considered far more reasonable and effective than Western medical techniques.

It has no serious side-effects. Most of the ingredients of Chinese medicine come from natural sources. The multiple ingredients of medicines enable them to treat various diseases. Heniantang Chinese traditional medicines achieve effectiveness when they are added to daily diets or administered via fluids consumed by drinking, such as soups and beverages. These all come to the recognition and popularity of Heniantang.
