Healer's Tea | A TCM Formula for Jing & Qi

The "healers tea" traditionally refers to a combination of these tonic herbs: Licorice root (Glycyrrhizae uralensis) and Dendrobium (Suk Gok). When Goji berries (Lycium Fruit) and Schisandra berries (Schizandrae Fructus) are added to this classic formula, healer's tea's benefits expand significantly, creating a powerful tonic brew that supports overall radiant health, vitality, and longevity.

This is why we have created our Restored Essence (based on this classic Healer's Tea formula) with the 4 herbs - Licorice root (Glycyrrhizae uralensis), Dendrobium (Suk Gok), Goji berries (Lycium Fruit) and Schisandra berries (Schizandrae Fructus)

Before we begin, we would like to acknowledge and thank the work of Master Tonic Herbalist Ron Teeguarden, without which we would not have discovered Healer's Tea... Nor would we be able to write this wonderful post!

Here are the primary benefits of this comprehensive "healers tea" formula:

Healer's Tea as "Restored Essence"

Synergistic Benefits of the Combined Formula:

•

Enhanced Sexual Health and Vitality: The combination of Dendrobium's fluid-replenishing properties, Goji's role as a fundamental sexual tonic, and Schisandra's ability to increase sexual fluids and endurance creates a potent blend for sexual vigor and fertility in both men and women.

• Radiant Skin and Anti-Aging: Goji and Schisandra are both renowned beauty tonics that contribute to moist, elastic, and glowing skin, working synergistically with Licorice's beautifying effects and Dendrobium's moistening qualities to promote a youthful appearance and protect against environmental damage.

•Liver and Blood Cleansing: Schisandra aids liver detoxification, and Licorice cleanses both the blood and Liver, supporting the body's natural purification processes. Goji is also a blood tonic.

• Overall Harmonization and Bioavailability: Licorice acts as the "Great Adjunct" and "Great Harmonizer," enhancing the effects of the other herbs and ensuring their smooth absorption and activity within the body, making the entire formula more effective and palatable. The overall taste is described as delicious.

This comprehensive Healer's Tea formula, combining these four "superior herbs," provides a broad spectrum of benefits aimed at achieving "radiant health" by nourishing the "Three Treasures" (Jing, Qi, and Shen) and regulating the body's fundamental energies.
