We also avoid using vegetable capsules because they require chemical components to form the capsule shape.

Peak Harvest Herbs

The herbs in our herbal pill blends are harvested at the height of their potency and they are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre-or post-season, but in our view, there is no substitute for premium quality.

Ann's Story

Here's my story.

If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.

I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.

When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.

I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.

My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.

I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.

Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?

One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.

We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.

The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.

I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”

“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.

My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”

“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.

Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.

My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.

After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.

Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.

I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.

When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.

After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.

Our namesake "Silkie" is a Chinese breed of chicken that is well known for its calm and friendly temperament. They are gentle and caring and make wonderful mothers. A Silkie loves nothing more than brooding a cluster of eggs, whether they are hers or not, even if they are "duck eggs".

Understanding Breast Lumps: A Comprehensive Guide


Breast lumps are a common concern affecting individuals of all ages and genders. Both males and females possess breast tissue that responds to hormonal fluctuations, resulting in changes in size and texture. These changes can lead to the development of benign lumps such as cysts or fibroadenomas. However, it's crucial to recognize that breast lumps can also indicate malignancy, serving as potential signs of breast cancer.

Types of Breast Lumps


Breast lumps can vary in type and may include:

  • Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that often feel soft and movable. They can change in size with the menstrual cycle and are usually benign.
  • Fibroadenomas: Solid, rubbery lumps that are typically painless and movable. They are among the most common benign breast tumors.
  • Fibrocystic Changes: Non-cancerous changes in breast tissue characterized by lumpy or rope-like texture due to hormonal fluctuations. These changes can cause breast tenderness and pain.
  • Lipomas: Fatty lumps that are usually soft, round, and movable. They are typically harmless but should be monitored for changes.
  • Breast Cancer: Malignant lumps that may feel hard, irregular, and may be fixed to surrounding tissue. Other symptoms may include changes in breast size, shape, or skin texture, nipple discharge, or skin dimpling.

Western Medicine Perspective on Breast Lumps


In Western medicine, breast lumps are approached systematically in terms of their cause, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment:

Causes


  • Breast lumps can have various causes, including hormonal changes, benign conditions (such as fibroadenomas or cysts), or malignant conditions (such as breast cancer).
  • Hormonal changes throughout a woman's menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause can lead to the development of benign breast lumps.
  • Genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and environmental exposures may also influence the development of breast lumps, including breast cancer.

Symptoms


  • The primary symptom of a breast lump is the presence of a palpable mass or swelling in the breast or armpit area.
  • Other symptoms may include changes in breast size, shape, or texture, nipple discharge (other than breast milk), breast pain or tenderness, or changes in the appearance of the breast skin (such as redness, dimpling, or puckering).

Diagnosis


  • Clinical Examination: A healthcare provider performs a physical examination of the breasts to assess the lump's size, shape, consistency, and mobility.
  • Imaging Tests: Mammography, ultrasound, and MRI are commonly used to further evaluate breast lumps and assess the surrounding breast tissue.
  • Biopsy: If imaging tests suggest a suspicious lump, a tissue sample (biopsy) may be taken for pathological examination to determine whether it is benign or malignant.

Treatment


  • Benign Lumps: Treatment for benign breast lumps may not be necessary if they are not causing symptoms. Observation, monitoring, or interventions (such as draining a cyst) may be recommended.
  • Malignant Lumps (Breast Cancer): Treatment for breast cancer typically involves a combination of surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the cancer's type, stage, and other factors.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective on Breast Lumps


In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), breast lumps are viewed through the lens of imbalances in the body's Qi (vital energy), Blood, and organ systems. Here's an overview of the TCM perspective on breast lumps:

Cause


Qi and Blood Stagnation:

  • Qi (vital energy) and Blood are essential components for maintaining the body's physiological functions and circulation.
  • Stagnation of Qi and Blood flow in the breast area can occur due to factors such as emotional stress, trauma, or poor circulation.
  • When Qi and Blood become stagnant, they can accumulate and form lumps or masses in the breast tissue.

Cause


Phlegm-Dampness Accumulation:

  • Phlegm and Dampness are pathological substances in TCM that can accumulate in the body due to factors such as improper diet, excessive worry, or weak digestion.
  • Phlegm and Dampness accumulation obstructs the free flow of Qi and Blood, leading to stagnation and congestion in the breast area.
  • Over time, the accumulation of Phlegm-Dampness can contribute to the formation of nodules or lumps in the breasts.

Cause


Yin Deficiency and Heat:

  • Yin and Yang are complementary forces in TCM, with Yin representing the cooling, nourishing aspect of the body.
  • Yin Deficiency occurs when there is insufficient Yin to balance the body's Yang (warm, active aspect).
  • Heat accumulation may arise from factors such as emotional stress, hormonal imbalance, or inflammatory conditions.
  • Yin Deficiency coupled with Heat accumulation can lead to inflammatory conditions in the body, including the breasts, resulting in the formation of nodules or lumps.

Symptoms


  • Palpable Mass: TCM recognizes the presence of palpable masses or lumps in the breast area as a primary symptom.
  • Tenderness or Pain: Depending on the underlying imbalance, breast lumps may be accompanied by tenderness or pain.
  • Other Symptoms: These may include changes in breast texture, nipple discharge, or other signs of systemic imbalance, such as fatigue, insomnia, or emotional disturbances.

Diagnosis


  • TCM diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient's overall health, including observation, palpation, questioning, and pulse and tongue diagnosis.
  • Specific patterns of disharmony, such as Qi and Blood Stagnation, Phlegm-Dampness, or Yin Deficiency with Heat, are identified to guide treatment.

Treatment


  • Herbal Medicine: TCM herbal formulas are prescribed based on the individual's pattern of disharmony. Formulas may include Chinese herbs for breast lumps that invigorate Blood circulation, resolve Phlegm-Dampness, nourish Yin, or clear Heat.
  • Acupuncture: Acupuncture can help stimulate Qi flow and resolve stagnation in the breast area. Specific acupuncture points may be selected based on the patient's TCM diagnosis.
  • Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations: Dietary modifications, stress reduction techniques, and lifestyle changes may be recommended to address underlying imbalances contributing to breast lumps.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas vs Current Herbalism


Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) boasts an extensive history of herbal treatment, developed over thousands of years, offering valuable insights. In contrast to western herbalism's reliance on single herbs at high doses, TCM utilizes combinations of 4 to 10 herbs, working synergistically to address various body imbalances. This approach enhances positive effects and minimizes negative side effects. TCM formulas not only alleviate symptoms but also target the root cause of the imbalance, allowing for reduced or discontinued herbal intake as health improves.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas vs Current Herbalism


While the medical industry and research groups focus on isolating and extracting specific compounds from herbs or herbal extracts that offer concentrated compounds for new treatments, this approach may limit the benefits. The process of extracting herbs often involves the use of solvents or high heat, which can degrade the quality of the active compounds and may also introduce harmful residues. TCM emphasizes the use of whole herbs, where naturally occurring compounds complement each other, maximizing therapeutic effects.

Silkie’s Herbal Formulas


Silkie is the result of five generations of experience and wisdom in Chinese Medicine. We start with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency.

Our supplements are made with natural honey as the binder. We don't use any fillers or artificial ingredients because this is how our great-grandfathers did it and we carry on that tradition.

Silkie’s Herbal Formulas


Herbal formulations take years and years to master and the most potent formulas are often kept as family or lineage secrets. This rich tradition is a very valuable gift from previous generations. With five generations of crafting formulas to help the local community, we have refined the herbal blends for modern life. 

Silkie utilizes herbal formulations tailored to individual patterns of imbalance. These formulas typically consist of a combination of herbs chosen for their synergistic effects in addressing both the symptoms and root causes.
