Why Are Silkie Formulas Superior to Other Herbal Remedies?
Silkie Pills are not your average herbal supplements. Every step in our process is rooted in quality, tradition, and uncompromising integrity - from raw materials to the final product. Here's what sets us apart:
-
100% Made in the USA
Every part of our production - from sourcing to manufacturing and testing - is done in the United States under strict quality control. This ensures consistency, safety, and compliance with the highest manufacturing standards. -
We Don’t Use Capsules or Tablets - for Good Reason
Unlike most modern supplements, we do not use capsules (whether gelatin or plant-based) or compressed tablets. Capsules and tablets often contain synthetic fillers, binders, lubricants, and flow agents that may interfere with digestion, slow down absorption, or irritate the gut. Even plant-based capsules - often marketed as "natural" - are typically made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a chemically processed wood pulp derivative. To form that capsule shell, the material must be chemically altered, heated, and molded, often with the help of plasticizers or solvents to create a uniform, shelf-stable capsule shape. These are not whole food substances, and they do not contribute to your health. Tablets, in particular, are produced using high pressure and heat, which can degrade delicate herbal compounds. The body must work to break down these materials before it can even access the herbs. -
Pure Honey as a Binding Agent
We don’t use synthetic binders or fillers. Instead, we use pure honey tailored to each specific formula. This isn’t just a natural binding agent - it’s also a preservative and digestive aid. Different types of honey are chosen intentionally for their energetic properties to balance the herbal ingredients. This helps support better absorption and harmonizes the entire formula with traditional medicinal theory. -
Authentic Medicinal-Grade Herbs Only
We use the highest grade of herbs - authentic medicinal materials (道地藥材 / Dào Dì Yào Cái). These are not commodity herbs; they are grown in their native regions and in the correct terroir (climate, soil, altitude), often harvested by hand at peak potency, and processed according to time-honored TCM methods.
These traditional processing techniques - known as Pao Zhi (炮製) - are essential for transforming raw herbs into effective, safe, and targeted medicine. Depending on the herb’s role and function, this may include:
Roasting (炒) – to moderate harsh properties or enhance warming effects
Steaming (蒸) – to enrich yin or reduce toxicity
Dry-frying with honey (蜜炙) – to tonify and harmonize with the lung and spleen
Frying with wine (酒炙) – to invigorate blood and improve circulation
Calcining (煅) – especially for minerals and shells, making them easier to digest
Fermenting (發酵) – to transform substances and enhance digestive impact
Aging or curing (陳放) – to mellow overly strong herbs and refine their effect
These methods are not optional - they’re integral to how the herb works in the body. They take more time, labor, and expertise, but result in herbs that are far more potent, targeted, and energetically aligned than mass-market herbs grown for bulk supply and sold raw. This level of authenticity is rare - and significantly more expensive - than standard commercial herbs. -
TCM Formulas Are Carefully Studied - Not Random Herbs Thrown Together
Each Silkie formula is based on classical Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. Formulas in TCM are not random combinations of herbs; they are the result of centuries of clinical observation, pattern differentiation, and energetic understanding. Each herb has a defined role - whether it's the chief, deputy, assistant, or envoy - and is selected to support a specific therapeutic direction. We follow this structured approach to ensure synergy, safety, and efficacy. You’re not getting a mix of trendy ingredients. -
Rigorous Testing from Raw to Finished Product
Every single batch undergoes comprehensive testing at every stage - from single raw herb verification, to grinding mixed quality, to the final pill. This includes identity, potency, purity, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants. -
Traditional Wisdom, Modern Integrity
Our formulas are built on five generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal wisdom, passed down through experience, apprenticeship, and clinical practice. We respect classical combinations and energetics - not just in theory, but in lived knowledge refined over time. This depth of understanding ensures every formula is rooted in true medicinal purpose, not market trends. Yet we bring this ancient knowledge into the modern era by applying clean, transparent practices and third-party verification - ensuring the medicine of the past meets the expectations of today. -
Handcrafted Attention to Detail
Unlike mass-market pills, each Silkie formula is crafted with thoughtful attention to how ingredients interact. The honey not only binds - it warms the formula, supports the spleen and digestion, and ensures smooth assimilation of herbs. This careful crafting process takes more time, effort, and skill than typical supplement manufacturing.

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.

Message From Ann
“Good Health is crucial for our overall well-being. It encompasses physical, mental, and emotional aspects, and it's important to prioritize taking care of ourselves to lead a fulfilling life. Emphasizing prevention over cure is paramount for maintaining this balance. Without health, life can become incredibly challenging. It affects our ability to pursue our goals, enjoy our relationships, and experience daily life to the fullest. Good health forms the foundation for everything else we want to achieve and experience.” - Ann Tam

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.
