Some herbs feel like steady companions- the kind that support you over time, meet you where you are, and help restore balance when things feel a little off. These are a few we return to again and again. Each one offers its own kind of nourishment, resilience, and care. Support that feels especially welcome in the heart of winter. From the deep vitality of Ren Shen to the steady, joint-supporting presence of Du Huo, these botanicals hold an enduring place in Traditional Chinese Medicine for good reason.
Here’s why we love them:
🌱 Ren Shen - Builds vitality and supports long-term energy
🦴 Du Huo - Encourages comfortable movement, especially in colder seasons
💨 Fang Feng - Helps the body adapt to wind and environmental shifts
🌿 Chuan Xiong - Promotes healthy circulation and flow
🌀 Qin Jiao - Eases tension and supports mobility
✨ Dang Gui - Deeply nourishing and restorative
🌊 Fu Ling - Supports digestion and fluid balance
🍯 Gan Cao - Harmonizes and brings everything into balance
TCM teaches us that care shows up through consistency, nourishment, and attention. These herbs embody the philosophy that is gentle, supportive, and deeply rooted. Save this as a reminder to tend to what sustains you.
