Herbal medicine has been the primary form of medicine used around the world for thousands of years. Chinese herbal medicine is unique in its understanding of taste, thermal nature, and meridian or organ correspondence of each herb. The Chinese material medica contains over 300 medicinals, including roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, shells, minerals and animal parts.
Chinese medicinals have been used successfully for over 2500 years and classic formulas have been created to treat commonly observed organ patterns in the mind-body complex. They have stood the test of time and their use has been documented in the form of clinical case studies.

They are still being used widely and are continuing to treat modern-day health concerns. Formulas have been modified over time by various practitioners, resulting in us now having many different formulas to choose from in addressing specific health concerns. Your practitioner may modify a classic formula themselves, and will always consider the ingredients in a formula to make sure they are a good fit for you. They may also choose to make a custom formula using Chinese herbal ingredients.

herbal granules

I am currently stocking granules from Sun Ten.
Granules are made by the company brewing batches of traditional herbal formulas using raw herb materials. The herbs are brewed appropriately, and follow certain cooking directions for specific herbs. The tea is then sprayed onto a starch which is then dehydrated.

The herbs are monitored carefully for the presence of any heavy metals, sulphur, or other substances which can be found on some raw materials coming from different regions in China. Any herbs that are known to contain naturally occurring toxic chemicals are tested and monitored to ensure their safety.

You can read more about Sun Ten granules and their manufacturing process here , here, and here.
