Unlike other herbal supplement companies that use starch, magnesium, and other chemical substances as binders for their supplements, we only use 100% honey. 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.

Understanding Palmar (hands) and Plantar (feet) Hyperhidrosis: A Comprehensive Guide


Excessive sweating of the hands and feet, also known as palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, respectively, can be quite uncomfortable and may interfere with daily activities and social interactions. While sweating is a natural bodily function for regulating temperature, some individuals experience sweating beyond what is considered normal.

Types of Hyperhidrosis


Primary Hyperhidrosis:

  • Primary hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating that is not a symptom of another medical condition. It often begins during childhood or adolescence and tends to affect specific areas of the body, such as the palms, soles of the feet, underarms, or face.
  • This type of hyperhidrosis usually occurs symmetrically, meaning it affects both sides of the body equally.
  • Primary hyperhidrosis is believed to be caused by overactive sweat glands and may have a genetic component, as it often runs in families.
  • It can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing social embarrassment, affecting daily activities, and leading to psychological distress.

Types of Hyperhidrosis


Secondary Hyperhidrosis:

  • Secondary hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating that is a symptom of an underlying medical condition or is caused by external factors such as medications or hormonal changes.
  • Unlike primary hyperhidrosis, secondary hyperhidrosis can affect larger areas of the body and may occur at any time in life.

Types of Hyperhidrosis


Some common causes of secondary hyperhidrosis include:

  • Medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, menopause, or certain neurological disorders.
  • Medications like antidepressants, antipsychotics, or medications for treating high blood pressure.
  • Hormonal changes, such as those experienced during pregnancy or puberty.
  • Infections or other medical conditions that cause fever.

Western Medicine Perspective on Palmar and Plantar Hyperhidrosis


From a Western medicine perspective, palmar (hands) and plantar (feet) hyperhidrosis are conditions characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for thermoregulation. Here's an overview of how Western medicine views these conditions:

Causes


  • Primary Hyperhidrosis: The exact cause of primary hyperhidrosis is not fully understood, but it's believed to result from overactive sweat glands that respond excessively to stimuli such as emotional stress or heat. Genetics likely play a role in predisposing individuals to this condition.
  • Secondary Hyperhidrosis: Secondary hyperhidrosis is typically caused by an underlying medical condition or external factors such as medications. Conditions like hyperthyroidism, menopause, diabetes, anxiety disorders, or certain infections can lead to excessive sweating.

Symptoms


  • Excessive sweating of the palms and soles, often occurring symmetrically.
  • Damp or moist skin that may lead to discomfort, odor, and skin infections.
  • Social embarrassment and psychological distress due to the visible signs of sweating and difficulty with daily activities such as writing, holding objects, or shaking hands.

Diagnosis


  • Diagnosis of palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and possibly additional tests to rule out underlying medical conditions contributing to secondary hyperhidrosis.
  • Tests may include blood tests to check for thyroid function, glucose levels, and other metabolic markers, as well as imaging studies or nerve conduction tests in certain cases.

Treatment


  • Topical Treatments: Prescription-strength antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate are often the first-line treatment for hyperhidrosis. These antiperspirants work by temporarily blocking sweat ducts and reducing sweat production.
  • Iontophoresis: This non-invasive treatment involves passing a mild electrical current through water in which the hands or feet are soaked, effectively blocking sweat glands and reducing sweating.

Treatment


  • Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections: Injections of botulinum toxin into the affected areas can temporarily block nerve signals that stimulate sweat production.
  • Oral Medications: In some cases, oral medications such as anticholinergics may be prescribed to reduce sweating, although they may have side effects.
  • Surgery: Surgical options such as sympathectomy (cutting or clamping the nerves that control sweating) may be considered for severe cases of hyperhidrosis that haven't responded to other treatments.

Lifestyle Modifications


  • Avoiding triggers such as spicy foods, caffeine, and emotional stress that can exacerbate sweating.
  • Wearing breathable fabrics and moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweating.
  • Practicing good hygiene to reduce the risk of skin infections associated with excessive sweating.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective on Palmar and Plantar Hyperhidrosis


In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis are viewed as manifestations of disharmony within the body's internal systems, particularly involving imbalances in Qi (vital energy), Blood, Yin, and Yang. Here's how TCM might understand and address these conditions:

Imbalances in Organ Systems


TCM views the body as a complex network of interconnected organ systems, each with its own functions and energies. Three key systems often implicated in hyperhidrosis are the Lung, Spleen, and Kidney systems.

Imbalances in Organ Systems


Deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Qi

  • Lung System: The Lung system governs the skin and controls the opening and closing of pores. Dysfunction or imbalance in the Lung system can disrupt the body's ability to regulate sweating properly.
  • Spleen System: The Spleen system is responsible for transforming and transporting fluids in the body, regulating the digestive process, and maintaining overall energy balance. When the Spleen is weakened or imbalanced, it may lead to the accumulation of dampness, which can manifest as excessive sweating. 
  • Deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Qi: Meaning the spleen and stomach don't have enough Qi (energy), you might sweat a lot on your hands and feet, feel tired, have trouble breathing, feel cold in your limbs, not feel hungry, have loose stools, and have a pale tongue with a white coating. This happens when you eat irregularly, eat too much, or are really tired, and it makes your energy weak, causing cold limbs and a pale face. Weak spleen function also leads to poor digestion, less appetite, and loose stools.

Imbalances in Organ Systems


Deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Yin:

  • Kidney System: The Kidney system in TCM encompasses more than just the anatomical kidneys; it governs water metabolism, regulates the body's overall balance of Yin and Yang energies, and plays a crucial role in reproduction and aging. Imbalances in the Kidney system, such as deficiencies in Yin or Yang, can contribute to sweating issues.
  • Deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Yin: Meaning there's not enough yin (cooling energy) in your spleen and stomach, you might sweat on your hands and feet, have a dry throat and mouth when you wake up, not feel hungry, feel like you want to vomit, have irregular stools, have a red tongue with little coating, and a weak pulse. This can happen from being exposed to too much heat, eating spicy or hot foods, or having illnesses that create a lot of internal heat. Not having enough yin makes your body hot inside and disturbs your body fluids, causing sweaty hands and feet. Waking up with a dry throat and mouth shows that your body is not regulating fluids well.

Excessive Heat or Dampness Accumulation in the Spleen and Stomach


  • Excessive Heat: This can result from external factors such as hot weather or a heated environment, as well as internal factors such as emotional stress or inflammation. Excessive heat can disrupt the body's ability to regulate temperature and sweating, leading to increased perspiration.
  • Dampness Accumulation: Dampness refers to an excess of moisture or fluid retention in the body, often resulting from poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, or weakened Spleen function. Dampness can obstruct the flow of Qi and disrupt the body's ability to properly regulate fluids, leading to symptoms such as sweating.
  • Excessive Heat or Dampness Accumulation in the Spleen and Stomach: Meaning  there's too much dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach, you might experience sweating in your hands and feet, tightness in your chest and upper abdomen, loss of appetite, feeling heavy, and being really tired. You might also notice your urine is short and reddish, your tongue has a yellow and greasy coating, and your pulse feels slippery or fast.

Contributing Factors


  • External factors such as environmental temperature, humidity, and physical activity levels can exacerbate hyperhidrosis.
  • Poor dietary habits, such as consuming greasy or spicy foods, can contribute to dampness accumulation and heat in the body.
  • Emotional stress, anxiety, and lifestyle habits like staying up late can also impact the body's internal balance and contribute to hyperhidrosis.

Symptoms


  • Excessive sweating of the palms and soles, often accompanied by sensations of heat or dampness.
  • Fatigue, weakness, or other signs of Qi or Blood deficiency in some cases.
  • In TCM terms, hyperhidrosis may be categorized into different patterns of disharmony, such as heat and dampness accumulation, Qi or Blood deficiency, or Kidney Yin or Yang deficiency.

Diagnosis


  • TCM diagnosis of hyperhidrosis involves a comprehensive assessment of the individual's signs, symptoms, medical history, tongue appearance, and pulse characteristics to identify patterns of disharmony.
  • Pulse diagnosis involves feeling the quality and strength of the radial pulse on both wrists, which provides insights into the functioning of various organs and energy imbalances.
  • Tongue diagnosis involves examining the color, coating, moisture, and shape of the tongue, which can reveal information about internal organ function and pathological factors.

Treatment Approaches


  • Herbal Medicine: Herbal medicines containing Chinese herbs for sweaty hands and feet consisting of various herbs with specific properties to address the underlying patterns of disharmony. For example: Herbs that clear heat and resolve dampness may be used for cases of heat and dampness accumulation; Herbs that tonify Qi, nourish Blood, or tonify Kidney Yin or Yang may be prescribed for cases of deficiency patterns.
  • Acupuncture: Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific acupuncture points along the body's meridians to regulate Qi flow, harmonize organ function, and address imbalances contributing to hyperhidrosis.

Treatment Approaches


  • Dietary Therapy: Recommendations may include dietary modifications to support the organs involved and reduce the accumulation of dampness and heat in the body. This may involve avoiding spicy, greasy, or excessively heating foods and emphasizing foods that nourish Yin or tonify Qi.
  • Lifestyle Recommendations: TCM often emphasizes lifestyle modifications such as stress reduction techniques, adequate rest, regular exercise (such as Qi Gong or Tai Chi), and maintaining a balanced daily routine to support overall health and well-being.

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 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.
