Mint Isn’t Just Mint (It’s Bo He)

Mint: not just for mojitos.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, it’s called Bo He (pronounced “bwo-huh”)—and it’s basically summer’s herbal MVP.

Here’s why:
Cools you down when it’s 🔥
Helps release that hot, sticky, restless feeling
Gets your Qi moving (yes, even your mood has flow)
Pairs great with mocktails, iced tea, or just a deep exhale

So yes, mint tastes fresh. But it’s also got thousands of years of herbal cred backing it up.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, pain isn’t just a symptom, it’s a sign that Qi (your vital energy) isn’t moving smoothly.

Stagnation can show up physically (aches, tension), emotionally (irritability, mood swings), or digestively (bloating, sluggishness).
The good news? Qi wants to move.

You just have to give it a little help…through herbs, breath, movement, and rest.

Herbal Purity, From Root to Ritual

No isolates. No synthetics. No shortcuts.
Just 18 whole herbs, working in harmony, exactly as they’ve been used for centuries.

This is the herbal combination behind Cool Slumber,, inspired by the legendary Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan.

Each ingredient was selected for its ability to calm the mind, nourish the Heart, and restore deeper internal balance, especially when your Shen (spirit) feels overworked and undernourished.

We source herbs the traditional way: whole, unadulterated, and in accordance with Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. We don’t chase trends. We honor traditions, refining them into modern formats you can take daily, without compromising purity.

From raw root to your nightly ritual, this is herbal medicine the way it was meant to be.

Meet Xi Gua — Yes, Watermelon Is an Herb

Did you know watermelon isn’t just a sweet summer treat—it’s also a revered herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Known as Xi Gua, it’s used to:
✅ Clear summer heat
✅ Replenish body fluids
✅ Cool from the inside out
✅ Boost Qi and hydration

Even the rind has its own medicinal uses.

So the next time you’re slicing into one, think of it as more than a snack…it’s ancient herbal wisdom disguised as dessert.

Two Paths to Better Sleep 💤 Not all sleepless nights are the same.

That’s why we created two targeted sleep blends, rooted in Chinese herbal wisdom:

Mental Tranquility: For the overthinker.
When your mind won’t stop racing and the day’s stress follows you into bed.

Cool Slumber: For the overheated sleeper.
When restlessness, night sweats, or summer heat are throwing you off balance.

Both are inspired by centuries-old Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas and come in naturally flavored powders you mix with water before bed.

Because sleep isn't one-size-fits-all—and neither is the remedy.

Your skin is more than just a barrier, it’s a reflection of your inner fire.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, summer heat and emotional overdrive can overwhelm the Heart and show up on your skin as breakouts, rashes, or inflammation.

That’s why Fire Element season is the time to cool, calm, and hydrate, from the inside out.

Bonus Tip: A calm Heart = glowing skin. If sleep and stress are out of sync, check out our Cool Slumber formula for Shen support.

How’s your Shen holding up this summer? 💫

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, your Shen is your spirit, the spark behind your thoughts, sleep, and emotional balance. When the Fire Element is in excess (think summer heat, overstimulation, anxiety), your Shen can get disturbed.

Too Much Fire Can Disturb Your Sleep 🔥🛌

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Heart is more than a physical organ, it’s the home of your Shen, or spirit.

And when summer heat (external or internal) overwhelms the Heart, you may feel restless, anxious, or wide awake at 2 a.m.

Cool Slumber is our go-to blend for calming the Heart, settling the Shen, and gently easing you into a deeper, more peaceful sleep….without melatonin or grogginess. 🌙✨

Formulated with time-honored herbs like Zizyphus, Schisandra, and Poria to support the Fire Element, especially when it burns too bright.

🔥 The Fire Element in Chinese Medicine

Summer is the season of the Fire Element, a time of warmth, connection, and emotional expression.

Here’s what it means in Traditional Chinese Medicine:
❤️ Associated Organ: Heart (and Small Intestine)
🌀 Emotion: Joy (but also restlessness or anxiety when out of balance)
💬 Seasonal Energy: Expansion, passion, connection
💤 Common Imbalance Signs: Insomnia, night sweats, scattered thoughts, emotional overwhelm
🌿 How to Support It: Nourish your Shen (spirit), calm the Heart, stay cool, and don’t overextend.

Fire thrives in balance, when we’re connected to ourselves and others, emotionally steady, and resting as much as we’re rising.

This is the season to protect your energy, cool your mind, and let joy move through you — not burn you out. ✨
