In recent years, cases of illegal addition of chemical substances into the TCMs and health-care products happened regularly.

Through literature survey of relevant papers published in 2016-2017, this article summarizes the application of various analytical techniques for adulterated chemical substances to the TCMs and health-care products with useful information for the further development of new methods and technologies in this field.
