It is important to understand that Chinese herbs work by restoring balance to the body. This means that you usually have to take an herb or a formula for a longer period of time than you would with pharmaceuticals in order to get results-- usually at least a month, and often times longer than that... it all depends on the individual and the nature of the ailment being addressed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Strengthen Immunity Qi Booster tincture?
Qi Booster is a root + spring tincture that blends eight Chinese herbs, formulated to help strengthen the body, support energy levels and support recovery after illness. It combines heat-clearing herbs with classic qi and yin tonics such as astragalus and American ginseng. It comes in a 1 oz dropper bottle, roughly a 10 day supply, and is made in the USA.
What is Qi Booster traditionally used for in Chinese medicine?
In Chinese medicine this formula is traditionally used to clear heat toxins, tonify qi, yin and blood, and generate fluids. People reach for it when they feel run down, during long recovery periods, or when they want to support a healthy immune system through demanding times. Its blend of clearing and tonifying herbs is meant to strengthen the body while gently clearing lingering heat.
What herbs are in Qi Booster?
The formula contains oldenlandia (Bai Hua She She Cao), barbed skullcap (Ban Zhi Lian), astragalus root (Huang Qi), scrophularia root (Xuan Shen), aged tangerine peel (Chen Pi), lindera root (Wu Yao), American ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) and Chinese angelica root (Dang Gui). Oldenlandia and barbed skullcap clear heat toxins, while astragalus, American ginseng, scrophularia and dang gui tonify qi, yin and blood.
Why does this immunity tincture contain astragalus and American ginseng?
Astragalus (Huang Qi) is one of the most important qi tonics in Chinese medicine, traditionally used to strengthen the body's protective qi, often described as its outer line of defense. American ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) tonifies qi while nourishing yin and generating fluids, with a cooler nature than Asian ginseng. Together they give the formula its building, energizing side.
How do I take the Qi Booster tincture?
Shake the bottle well before each use. For a maintenance serving, dissolve 1 to 2 droppers, about half a teaspoon, in warm water or juice two to three times daily. For an augmented serving, take 1 full teaspoon two to three times a day in warm water or juice. Taking it at about the same times each day makes it easier to stay consistent.
Who should not take Qi Booster?
Do not use Qi Booster if you are pregnant. We also recommend avoiding it while breastfeeding unless a practitioner advises it. The formula contains dang gui, which moves blood, so check with your doctor first if you take blood thinners. If you are recovering from a serious illness or receiving medical treatment, talk with your doctor before adding any herbs so they can check for interactions.
How long should I take Qi Booster?
Chinese herbs work by gradually restoring balance, so they are usually taken for longer than pharmaceuticals. Most people take a formula like Qi Booster for at least a month, and often longer, depending on the individual and what they are working on. Each 1 oz bottle is roughly a 10 day supply, so a month generally takes about three bottles.
What does the tincture taste like, and how do I reduce the alcohol?
The taste is earthy and somewhat bitter from the heat-clearing herbs, softened by the natural sweetness of astragalus and American ginseng. Mixing your serving into warm water or juice makes it easier to take. To reduce the alcohol, place the serving in hot water and let it sit for a few minutes so some of the alcohol evaporates. Shake the bottle well before each use.
