Chinese Bitters

$29.95 CDN

One 250 mL (8½ fl oz) bottle

Julia Chang's original "Chinese Bitters" formula. Since she created Chinese Bitters, it has been imitated many times, but her formulation of Chinese Gentian, Scutellaria, Atractylodes, and Bupleurum remains the original.

The liver performs many important functions in the body, including the detoxification, filtering, regulating and storage of blood. It is also important in the process of metabolizing food, and in the regulation of hormones. Our Chinese Bitters tincture strengthens the liver, to help it perform these functions. (more details)

Chinese Bitters capsules

$19.95 CDN

One bottle of 180 capsules. This is our classic Chinese Bitters formula, but slightly stronger and in capsule form: ideal for people who want to take the Chinese Bitters tincture but find its taste unpleasant, or who are not allowed to consume alcohol for religious or dietary reasons. Take between 1 and 3 capsules per day.

Gold Coin Grass (GCG) tincture

$27.95 CDN

One 250 mL (8½ fl oz) bottle

Our GCG tincture contains GCG, bupleurum, rhubarb, and tangerine peel. GCG, also known as Jin Qian Cao, has been used in China for centuries as a beverage tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, GCG is believed to "clear damp heat" from the liver and gallbladder. (more details)

Gold Coin Grass (GCG) glycerine tincture

$27.95 CDN

One 250 mL (8½ fl oz) bottle

This is a glycerine-based, more concentrated version of our GCG tincture. It is slightly sweet-tasting because of the glycerine, but no sugar has been added.

Some herbalists favour glycerine tinctures over alcohol tinctures because they taste better and because glycerine is a stronger solvent for certain ingredients. Our glycerine tincture does also contain some alcohol (5%), so it combines some of the characteristics of both glycerine and alcohol tinctures. Since the alcohol concentration is much lower than a standard alcohol tincture, it is more suitable for people with low alcohol tolerance.

Gold Coin Grass (GCG) capsules

$27.95 CDN

One bottle of 150 capsules. This is our classic GCG formula, but stronger and in capsule form: ideal for people who want to take GCG tincture but find its taste unpleasant, or who are not allowed to consume alcohol for religious or dietary reasons. Take between 1 and 5 pills per day. (more details)

GCG Tea

$9.95 CDN

One 100g (3½ oz) bag. Ingredients: Jin Qian Cao.

Jin Qian Cao (known as Herba Lysimachiae in the west) roughly translates to "gold coin grass" in English. It has been used in concentrated form for centuries in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), where it is believed to clear "heat" and toxins from the body, and also to strengthen the body's natural ability to expel gallstones and kidney stones.

When taken as a tea instead of a TCM extract, GCG has a much gentler effect, and many people in China drink it daily, because they enjoy its natural earthy aroma and mild leafy taste.

Instructions: use ½ to ¾ cup of the herb per pot of tea (approx. 4 cups of water). Add boiling water, steep for 5 to 10 minutes, and then drink. You can use either a teapot or a French press. If you prefer a stronger tea, you could put it in a pot with 4 cups of water and boil it on the stove for 5 minutes, then simmer it for an additional 20 to 30 minutes before straining and drinking. If you wish to sweeten the tea, we recommend using honey instead of processed sugar.

$27.95 CDN

One 250 mL (8½ fl oz) bottle

It is a relative of ginger, and grows in the tropical regions of Southern Asia.

Improved blood circulation can improve your overall health in myriad ways. (more details)

Raw Chrysanthemum Tea

$11.95 CDN

Magnesium Malate

$25.95 CDN
