QIU 秋 - THE FALL
By Peter Firebrace, FBAcC
Qiu 秋 the fall, the autumn, shows an ear of grain (on the left) filled with fire 火 (on the right). Summer’s firing is over, the fall is here; inner time, metal time to cut the ties that bind. Autumn is two-edged: on the one hand, the harvest season with its mellow abundance, and on the other, the rapidly shortening days with the nip of death in the keen air. A time of evening, of rebalancing, the scales tipping in favour of the dark, the cold, the yin, the in. 
Family Values of the 19th Century Shape KPC’s Culture Today By Amber Tsai
At KPC Products, we recognize our success has been attributed to a unique combination of stringent practices, industry expertise, and respect for family values. Our story traces back five generations to when our ancestor, Tsai Liang Hai, sailed across the strait from Fujian province to a small village in Taiwan. Prior to his arrival in 1892, he had spent over twenty years selecting herbs and mastering the art of herbal remedy.

 TDP CQ-36 Digital Heat Lamp (Large Head)
TDP lamps are unique in that they produce Far Infrared energy. Conventional infrared lamps produce what is called Near Infrared. These types of lamps produce visible light that has a wavelength of 1 to 5 microns and are used as a simple source of heat. TDP lamps generate infrared energy with wavelengths from 1 to 50 microns. This is accomplished by heating a proprietary ceramic disc coated with 33 different minerals that, when heated, emit the Far spectrum of infrared energy that is most easily absorbed by the human body. This therapeutic heat penetrates through deep layers of tissue, providing very effective recuperative and analgesic effects.
