Classical Pearls Herbal Formulas™ are unique Chinese herbal formulations designed for the treatmen

OUR APPROACH IS SIMPLE

We manage the sourcing, production and formulation of the highest quality ingredients into unique and potent formulations based on the classical medical texts, and fine-tuned to treat modern patients suffering from the complex diseases of our times. Herbal medicine was once the only modality to cure serious diseases. Today, the intricate alchemical principles and the experience based approach of traditional herbal science has become overshadowed by laboratory parameters—often to the detriment of clinical results. It is the mission of Classical Pearls to launch a return to the classical and clinic-based roots of Chinese herbal medicine. A RETURN TO THE CLINICAL POWER OF OUR ROOTS

Classical Pearls is proud to be part of an international movement that seeks to honor and restore the classical origins of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is a highly sophisticated science and deeply spiritual art form. We believe in trusting what history has taught us – that Chinese herbal formulation is based on simple foundational principles that are often ignored or misunderstood in the construct of modern TCM education. With our formulas and the core educational concepts behind them, our goal is to preserve the true clinical power and efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine. OUR FORMULAS HAVE EVOLVED FROM CLASSICAL MEDICAL TEXTS

Each of our remedies incorporates principles of classical formula design synthesized from the ancient texts of Oriental medicine and a variety of classical lineage approaches. Based on over two decades of clinical experience, tightly structured classical formulas have been combined and fine-tuned to the modern diseases of our time. It is our sincere hope that the study and use of the Classical Pearls series of products can help Oriental medicine practitioners increase their clinical efficacy and gain a better understanding of the time-honored principles of alchemical wisdom that are gradually being forgotten.

It's and this week were highlighting Ocean Pearls 🌊

Ocean pearls is a remedy for toxic conditions in the lower burner. Its complex design is based on the classical 2nd century remedies Guizhi Fuling Wan (Cinnamon Twig and Poria Pill) and Taohe Chengqi Tang (Peach Pit Decoction to Order the Qi), which purge stagnating blood, fluids, and toxins from the pelvic region. To make the formula more suitable for long-term use, and to employ the dantian anchoring effect of aconite, the shaoyin remedy Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) is also included. Other herbs are added to prevent or dissolve masses and accumulations.

🪵Rougui is one of Chinese medicine’s most powerful warming herbs. Harvested from mature cinnamon trees, its bark strengthens the Fire at the Gate of Vitality (Mingmen), warms the interior, and guides heat back to the source. In classical formulas, Rougui is often used to rescue depleted yang, move cold stagnation, and support deep, chronic conditions where warmth is needed most.

It's , and today we're highlighting Tiger Pearls!

Tiger Pearls are designed to offer a constitutional approach to chronic bowel stagnation in middle-aged and elderly patients. Generally, TCM doctrine regards bowel stagnation issues as a combination of yangming heat and metal dryness, requiring purgative action with cooling and moistening ingredients, i.e. Maziren Wan (H**p Seed Pill). However, most patients suffering from chronic bowel stagnation tend to be elderly, thyroid deficient, and exhibit poor bowel motility.

Tiger Pearls employs Sun Simiao’s 7th century remedy Wenpi Tang (Warm the Spleen Decoction) to “restart” the system, by embedding the purgative power of rhubarb in an environment of herbs that gently warm the Spleen and the Kidney.

The 2nd century remedy Taohe Chengqi Tang (Peach Pit Decoction to Order the Qi) increases blood circulation in the intestinal walls, ensures elimination of cellular waste, and prevents degenerative processes.

Dàhuáng: From Mountain Fields to Medicinal Root 🌿

In the highlands of Yunnan, Dàhuáng (Rhubarb root) is harvested with great care. The roots are dug at specific times—often after 3 to 4 years of growth—when their medicinal properties are strongest. After harvesting, they’re cleaned, sliced, and sun-dried to preserve their potency.

In Chinese medicine, Dàhuáng is valued for its strong downward movement. It's often used to clear heat, purge accumulation, move blood, and treat constipation or inflammation. When properly sourced and prepared, it becomes a powerful tool in the hands of skilled practitioners.

A reminder from Zhou Ai that true herbal skill lies in discernment — the art of seeing what others overlook.

t’s and today we’re highlighting Cinnamon Pearls 🌿 a core remedy in the Legacy Series formulas.

The design of Cinnamon Pearls is based on the classical remedies Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Decoction) and Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodis Macrocephalae and Licorice Decoction), the first of which is the “leader of all formulas” in the Shanghan lun (Treatise on Disorders Caused by Cold).

Together, they reflect the versatile “Guizhi Fa” (cinnamon method) approach of the Fire Spirit School of Chinese herbalism, and represent a base treatment for all types of chronic disorders involving congestion in the surface layers of the body, as well as decreased movement function in the Spleen, Lung, Heart, Liver, Small Intestine and Bladder networks.

Cinnamon Pearls can therefore be considered a standard way to improve immunity by benefiting microcirculation in vital tissues and preventing fluid congestion and phlegm build-up. At the same time, this remedy is designed to control autoimmune reactions and thus is a prime remedy for a broad variety of chronic disorders involving a combination of low immunity and allergies. It is especially suitable for addressing food allergies and related cognitive dysfunction.

🌾Bamboo Pearls’ design is based on the 2nd century remedy Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Tang, which first appeared in Zhang Zhongjing’s classic for miscellaneous diseases, Essentials from the Golden Cabinet (Jingui yaolüe).

From a traditional perspective, the combination of cinnamon, ginger, medium dose aconite and other warming herbs opens congested channels and collaterals, dries damp, and expels wind; peony, especially in combination with cinnamon and aconite, emolliates sensations of pain, cramping, tingling and numbness; in combination with anemarrhena, the cooling herb peony can also eliminate localized heat congestion.

🌿Wujiapi (Acanthopanax gracilistylus), commonly known as Siberian ginseng bark or Eleutherococcus root bark, is a yang-tonifying herb used in Chinese medicine to strengthen the sinews and bones, expel wind-dampness, and support the Liver and Kidney systems.
This hardy shrub, native to central and southern China, thrives in forested hillsides and is identified by its palmate leaves, thorny purple stems, and woody structure. It belongs to the Araliaceae family—closely related to other tonic herbs like Ren Shen (Panax ginseng).
