As we become an increasingly holistic health-conscious society, there is a growing desire for health-optimizing supplements and nutraceuticals. There are already many good products on the market. These supplements are usually loaded with a large number of adaptogens, mushroom, and plant-based substances. And while each of these has research-proven benefits, such a large number in just one formula, from the eye of Chinese herbalism, is not always optimal. Our custom medicinal tea service lets you tap into that herbal knowledge, honed over centuries, so you can devise a formula for you that is very clear and specific to your constitution and your goals for optimization. The service includes a holistic Eastern medical assessment to determine the perfect blend for you, as well as a one month supply of your custom medicinal tea.
