Frequently asked questions

What is the Chinese Herbal Broth and Soup Mix for Stress Relief?

It is a root + spring soup kit based on Si Shen Tang, a traditional recipe whose name translates as four divinity soup. It combines four gentle herbs, dried Chinese yam (Huai Shan), euryale seed (Qian Shi), poria (Fu Shen) and white lotus seed (Lian Zi). The mix is handcrafted in small batches in the USA from 100% natural ingredients and makes 4 hearty servings.

What is Si Shen Tang traditionally used for?

In Chinese medicine Si Shen Tang is traditionally used to tonify qi and blood, calm the shen, or spirit, and strengthen the spleen and kidney. People often turn to it during busy, draining stretches when they feel tense, restless, forgetful or have trouble settling at night. It is a food-as-medicine soup, gentle enough to enjoy as a nourishing meal.

What herbs are in the Stress Relief soup mix and what do they do?

Chinese yam (Huai Shan) is valued for energy and digestion. Euryale seed (Qian Shi) is said in Chinese medicine to tonify the kidney and secure essence. Poria (Fu Shen) is traditionally used to strengthen the spleen and settle the mind. White lotus seed (Lian Zi) calms the spirit and supports the spleen and stomach while staying neutral in nature. Together they form a balanced, calming tonic.

How do I make Si Shen Tang soup?

Instructions come in the package and prep takes about five minutes. The herbs need a long, gentle simmer to release their goodness, and a slow cooker is a great tool for it. Its earthen inner pot holds a steady temperature, so the soup can simmer without close supervision. A pot on the stovetop works well too if you can keep it at a low simmer.

What does the Stress Relief broth taste like?

It is mild and comforting. Chinese yam, euryale seed, lotus seed and poria are all gentle, slightly sweet and starchy ingredients, so the broth tastes soft rather than bitter or medicinal. The seeds and yam turn tender as they cook, which gives the soup a pleasant texture. It makes an easy, soothing soup for everyday meals.

Is the Stress Relief soup safe during pregnancy?

The herbs in this mix are gentle and widely used as food in Chinese cooking, but we still suggest avoiding it during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your practitioner says it is fine for you. If you take prescription medicines, including medicines for sleep or mood, check with your doctor first. For children, ask a licensed Chinese medicine practitioner about suitable portions.

How many servings does the Stress Relief soup mix make?

Each package makes 4 hearty servings, enough for a family meal or several bowls for one person across a few days. Until you are ready to cook it, keep the mix in a cool, dry place for the longest shelf life. The bottom shelf of the refrigerator is a good option, especially in a warm or humid kitchen.

Should I choose the Stress Relief broth or the Women's broth?

Choose the Stress Relief broth if your main focus is feeling calmer and more settled. Its herbs are traditionally used to calm the shen and strengthen the spleen and kidney, and it suits both men and women. The Women's broth is built around dong quai and rehmannia, herbs traditionally used to nourish and move the blood and support the menstrual cycle. Some people enjoy both at different times of the month.
