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.

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.
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". We share the same outlook and care for our clients the same way we care for our own family.
Let's use the financial assets to illustrate the concept of Kidney Essence (Jing) in TCM
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), kidney essence, also known as "Jing," is considered one of the fundamental substances that contribute to overall health and vitality.
Jing consists of two types: prenatal Jing (congenital Jing or what you are born with) and postnatal Jing (acquired Jing or what you build up over your lifetime). Consider prenatal Jing as the "beginning balance" or "start up" amount of money in your account, and postnatal Jing representing the "interest accrued" over time.
Just as not everyone starts with the same amount of money at birth or inherited from their parents, not everyone has the same prenatal Jing. This prenatal Jing sets the stage for your overall health, much like the initial investment in a bank account.
Postnatal Jing, on the other hand, is like the interest you earn over time. It comes from things like the food you eat, the air you breathe, and your life experiences(lifestyle). This acquired Jing supplements your prenatal Jing, adding to your overall health and vitality, similar to how interest adds to your initial savings in a bank account.
Just as with financial savings, managing Jing involves a balance between spending and replenishing. For instance, the way you live your life, including your diet, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and overall health practices, determines how much Jing you consume or "spend" and overindulgence in sexual activities or frequent pregnancies can deplete Jing more rapidly.
Similarly, the choices you make, such as getting enough rest, eating nourishing foods, engaging in stress-reducing activities like meditation or exercise, and avoiding excessive stress or overexertion, limited sexual activity, balanced with rest and self-care, helps maintain a harmonious balance of Jing as of how much Jing you conserve and "save."
- Jing Energy and Human Development: Jing plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, including growth, development, reproduction, and aging and is stored in the kidneys. Each individual is born with a finite amount of prenatal Jing, akin to an inheritance received from one's parents.
- Role of Kidneys in Transforming Jing into Blood: The kidneys transform stored Jing into blood, which serves as a vital nourishing substance for various bodily functions. Blood nourishes essential aspects of the body, including head hair, and an abundance of Jing and blood results in healthy, shiny hair. Conversely, deficiencies in Jing or blood can manifest as hair loss, gray hair or other hair disorders, indicating kidney or blood deficiencies.
- Jing's Influence on Vitality and Aging: The conception, growth, and aging processes are all reflections of the waxing and waning of Jing energy. As time passes, Jing gradually diminishes, akin to depleting savings from a bank account, leading to a decline in vitality and Kidney Jing.
- Impact on Hearing and Genitourinary Health: Abundant kidney Jing is associated with excellent hearing, while deficiencies can lead to hearing problems such as deafness or tinnitus. Moreover, disorders of the genital and urinary tract, such as urinary frequency or incontinence, are also considered signs of kidney disharmony and Jing deficiency.
- Effects of Excessive Sexual Activity: TCM cautions against excessive sexual activity, as it is believed to deplete kidney Jing over time, leading to long-term deficiency issues like low libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation. Using a one-time method to increase blood flow to the penis is comparable to withdrawing most savings from a bank account in one go, leading to potential depletion and future repercussions. Similarly to women, pregnancies can severely deplete a woman's blood and Jing, potentially compromising her overall health and vitality.
- Rebuild Kidney Jing: Once kidney Jing is exhausted, it necessitates a period of rebuilding, akin to replenishing savings over time. This process entails adopting lifestyle adjustments, nourishing practices with herbs and food, and adequate rest to gradually restore and accumulate Jing energy. Analogous to saving money gradually to build reserves, nurturing the body and mind facilitates the restoration of essential energy reserves, fostering overall health and vitality according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles.
