Understand Similar Herbs, Traditional Uses
& Which Herb May Fit You Best

Many Chinese herbs sound similar, belong to the same herbal category, or are traditionally used in similar ways. That is where confusion often begins.

  • its traditional category
  • or a long list of technical descriptions
