Unlike the traditional ways of making Chinese herbal remedies, we are providing a faster and more convenient way with our herbal tea bags. The tea bags are made with natural Chinese herbs and have no extra chemicals added to them. You steep it just like how you would with regular tea bags. It does not have the strong smell like how traditionally cooked herbal remedies would have (no more worries about the mess and fuss with cook time, water and medicine ratio). Even compare to the powdered Chinese medicine, the tea is much lighter and easier to swallow.
Our Chinese herbal tea is custom-made according to each individual’s condition and demands, not mass-produced to fit a certain symptom.
We welcome you to give it a try!
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing. Moxibustion has been used throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion is to warm regions and meridian points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and to induce a smoother flow of blood and qi (energy). It can boost the immune system and help with digestive issues, fatigue, menstrual cramps and much more. It is also a great way to be used for pain that is worse with exposure to cold or damp weather.
