Arthritis Formula is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy joints, mobility, circulation, and overall musculoskeletal wellness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), joint discomfort, stiffness, and reduced mobility are often associated with imbalances involving the Liver, Kidneys, Blood circulation, and the accumulation of Wind, Cold, Dampness, or Heat within the channels and joints.
When these systems become imbalanced, individuals may experience occasional joint stiffness, discomfort during movement, reduced flexibility, sensations of heaviness in the limbs, or age-related changes affecting joint function. Common concerns may include knee discomfort, lower back stiffness, shoulder tension, hip discomfort, wrist stiffness, and reduced mobility throughout the body.
Arthritis Formula is based on traditional Chinese herbal principles and contains herbs traditionally used to nourish the Liver and Kidneys, support healthy Blood circulation, promote flexibility, and help clear excess Wind, Dampness, and stagnation from the channels. The formula is commonly used by individuals seeking joint support, mobility support, healthy aging support, and long-term musculoskeletal wellness.*

Common Signs You May Need Arthritis Formula
This formula is most appropriate for patterns associated with joint discomfort, stiffness, reduced mobility, poor circulation, and cold-damp obstruction according to Traditional Chinese herbal principles. Different individuals may experience different symptoms, such as:
Joint Pain or Discomfort
Recurring joint discomfort may affect one or multiple joints throughout the body. Individuals may experience aching, soreness, tenderness, discomfort during movement, or reduced comfort following physical activity or prolonged periods of inactivity.
Stiff or Achy Joints
Joint stiffness may develop gradually and often becomes more noticeable after rest, inactivity, prolonged sitting, or upon waking in the morning. Many individuals describe their joints as feeling tight, restricted, or difficult to move comfortably.
Morning Stiffness
Some individuals experience stiffness, tightness, or reduced flexibility when first getting out of bed. Movement often improves gradually as the body warms up and circulation increases throughout the joints and muscles.
Reduced Flexibility or Range of Motion
Joint discomfort may limit flexibility and make it more difficult to bend, stretch, squat, reach overhead, kneel, or perform routine physical activities with the same ease as before.
Occasional Swelling Around the Joints
Some individuals may experience occasional feelings of fullness, puffiness, or mild swelling around affected joints. These symptoms may contribute to reduced comfort, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
Discomfort That Worsens with Cold or Damp Weather
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, cold and damp environmental conditions may contribute to increased joint discomfort. Symptoms may become more noticeable during rainy weather, cold temperatures, seasonal changes, or humid conditions.
Knee Discomfort
The knees are among the most commonly affected joints. Individuals may experience stiffness, soreness, weakness, reduced flexibility, discomfort when climbing stairs, or difficulty standing for extended periods of time.
Hip Discomfort
Hip discomfort may affect walking, standing, sitting, exercise, or other daily activities. Some individuals experience tightness, reduced mobility, or stiffness that limits comfortable movement.
Shoulder Discomfort
Shoulder stiffness and discomfort may make it difficult to lift, reach, carry, or perform overhead movements. Reduced shoulder mobility may gradually interfere with normal daily activities.
Neck Discomfort
Neck stiffness may contribute to reduced flexibility, difficulty turning the head, muscle tension, or discomfort that develops after prolonged sitting, computer work, or poor posture.
Back Discomfort
Back discomfort may affect the upper back, mid-back, or lower back and may be associated with stiffness, tight muscles, reduced flexibility, or discomfort during movement and activity.
Difficulty with Everyday Movement Due to Joint Stiffness
Joint stiffness may make simple daily tasks more challenging, including walking, standing, bending, climbing stairs, exercising, gardening, household activities, or participating in recreational activities.
A Sensation of Heaviness in the Joints or Limbs
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, dampness may contribute to feelings of heaviness, sluggishness, or reduced ease of movement. Individuals may describe their limbs as feeling weighted down or difficult to move comfortably.
Cracking or Popping Sensations During Movement
Some individuals notice clicking, cracking, popping, or grinding sensations when moving affected joints. These sounds may occur alongside stiffness, reduced flexibility, or general joint discomfort.
Joint Discomfort Associated with Aging
As the body ages, natural wear and tear may affect joint function and mobility. Individuals may notice increasing stiffness, reduced flexibility, slower recovery, and greater discomfort during routine activities.
Reduced Physical Activity Due to Joint Limitations
Joint discomfort may discourage participation in exercise, sports, walking, travel, or other physical activities. Reduced movement can further affect flexibility, circulation, and overall quality of life.
Individuals with more complex, chronic, recurring, or long-standing joint and mobility patterns may benefit from combining this formula with additional herbal support to address underlying imbalances and support long-term joint comfort, flexibility, mobility, and overall musculoskeletal wellness.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Joint Health
According to traditional Chinese herbal principles, healthy joints depend on proper circulation of Qi and Blood, strong tendons and bones, healthy digestion, and the body's ability to resist the effects of cold, dampness, and aging. Daily habits that support these functions may help promote long-term joint comfort, flexibility, and mobility.
For best results:
- Stay physically active with regular walking, stretching, Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, or other low-impact exercise
- Maintain flexibility through daily movement and gentle joint exercises
- Keep the body and joints warm, especially during cold or damp weather
- Drink plenty of lukewarm water throughout the day to support healthy circulation and elimination
- Eat meals on a regular schedule and prioritize freshly prepared foods
- Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce unnecessary stress on the joints
- Prioritize adequate sleep and recovery to support healthy joint function
- Manage stress through relaxation, meditation, or breathing exercises
To support healthy joint function, it is recommended to limit:
- Cold or iced beverages
- Highly processed foods
- Excessively salty foods and preserved foods
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Smoking and tobacco products
- Excess coffee and caffeinated beverages
- Excessive intake of greasy, fried, or heavily processed foods
- Irregular eating habits and frequent late-night meals
Foods traditionally considered supportive for joint health include warm soups, cooked vegetables, ginger, garlic, black sesame, walnuts, bone broth, whole grains, and other nourishing foods that support circulation and overall vitality.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy digestion plays an important role in maintaining strong Qi and Blood, which help nourish the muscles, tendons, bones, and joints throughout the body.
Consistent nutrition, regular movement, quality sleep, proper hydration, and healthy circulation are important foundations for supporting joint comfort, flexibility, mobility, and long-term musculoskeletal wellness.

Our herbal supplements are made with natural honey as the binder.

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.
