the not-so-secret ingredients
it may sound like a pile of flowers in a tin — and it is.
but there is more than meets the eye.
枸杞
gǒu qǐ
eases the deep fatigue that can follow heavy bleeding days. warms and replenishes the liver and kidneys. supports blood production
红枣
hóng zǎo
one of TCM's greatest harmonizers. tonifies qi and blood, steadies the spirit, and softens emotional tension alongside the physical
龙眼
lóng yǎn
aids in the restless nights and low moods that can arrive with the cycle. nourishes heart blood and quiets the mind.
干姜
gān jiāng
warms the uterus and disperses cold stagnation. in TCM, cold is a root cause of cramping; ginger targets that source
花椒
huā jiāo
a small but potent warming agent that helps the rest of the blend work deeper. dispels cold-dampness and eases abdominal pain
玫瑰花
méi guī huā
moves liver qi and lifts stagnation. TCM often traces irritability and low moods to a stuck liver; rose gently unblocks this meridian
history in a cup
my mother never bothered to mask the acrid taste of ginseng.
“nothing good for you ever tastes good.”
turns out, traditional chinese medicine can taste as great as it feels (sorry, mom)
caesura brings comfort through aroma and flavor that persist centuries, if not dynasties. whether you recognize the ingredients or not, it beats advil any day
— michele zhou, co-founder

can I drink it outside of my cycle?
where are the herbs sourced?
when will my order arrive?
what if it doesn't work for me?
