Where to Get Tea in Austin?

Drinking tea has a growing reputation for its health benefits. People in the area might be familiar with the Steeping Room or Austin Tea Xchange. And while they serve tasty high-quality teas, maybe you are searching for something more specifically medicinal?

If you are seeking specific medicinal tea remedies, Yi Guan Acupuncture and Chinese Herbalism is the herbalist in Austin that can give you what you need.

Herbal Remedy Formats

While Chinese herbal remedies come in many formats, from pills to tinctures to decoctions, our  way to prepare Chinese formulas are in powders, called san (散) in Chinese. Whether they are ground-up fresh herbs in the traditional way or lab-made concentrated granules in the modern era, these are normally taken dissolved in warm water. In other words: tea.

A Variety of Medicinal Teas

One of the most popular varieties is called xiao yao san, which translates into free and easy wanderer powder. A mix of bupleurum, angelica root, peony root, and a few others, this tea is well known to settle some of both the mental and physical aspects of having a too busy too stressed life. This only scratches the surface, though. Chinese herbalists have hundreds of substances at their disposal, each with its own health benefits. The real power comes from the strategic combinations of these herbs.

Yi Guan Medicinal Teas

We put together teas at Yi Guan that have been helpful with things from headaches and shoulder pain to dry itchy eyes, nasal congestion, or a sore throat. We know these work, because we’ve tried them ourselves. Need help sleeping? We’ve made a tea for that. Ever feel a little bloated and sluggish after too much barbecue? We’ve got one for that too! We can formulate a powdered tea designed specifically for you and what you’re facing.
