How long do I take the herbs?
Chinese medicine does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Every person’s symptoms present differently and therefore response times vary with herbs. Some people may notice relief from symptoms almost immediately from their customized herbal blend, some may have to take the formula for a few weeks to start noticing changes. Typically if the person is very depleted, the herbs have to first restore proper balance before seeing benefits.
Chinese herbs are different than western pharmaceuticals in that they work with your body to restore proper function. This process takes time. The goal of Chinese medicine: to get you taking nothing and feeling great! Chinese medicine treats the root of the underlying disease so one can eventually stop taking the formula without old symptoms returning.
Why do I have to take 9 pills a day?
Chinese herbs are all-natural plant and mineral derivatives. This means that the active compound is not isolated in a lab and given in a large dose but rather kept in its natural state. The dosage of 3 pills 3 times a day (9 total) is the standard dosage for Chinese herbal blends. This is the dose most people need in order to see results and the recommended starting amount.
Having issues remembering your afternoon dose? Try 4 pills 2 times a day.
If your body is more sensitive, you can start with 2 pills 3 times a day. If you’re getting the desired results from that dose, stay there!
If you notice the effects quickly or they are too pronounced, try 1 pill 3 times a day. If you’re having loose stools, start slower—1 pill 3 times a day for one week and then work your way up to 3 pills 3 times a day.
How many bottles should I buy to get through one month?
Each formula lasts 11 days. If you’re taking them as instructed (9 a day), you will need 3 bottles for 33 days. We typically offer shipping deals when buying in bulk. Check the promotional banners at the top of the page to view our current promotion.

What are the side Effects?
The great thing about Chinese herbs is that there are little to no side effects! On occasions, the starting dose (9 pills a day) can cause looser stools. If you notice that, start with 1 pill 3 times a day for one week and then work your way up to 3 pills 3 times a day.
If you’re experiencing something more serious, immediately stop the herbs and contact your healthcare provider.
