Why Tian San Qi and Du Zhong?
The name Tian Qi Du Zhong Wan highlights two important ingredients in the formula.
Tian San Qi (Panax notoginseng) belongs to the Panax genus and has a long history of use in Chinese herbal traditions. Within TCM theory, Tian San Qi is traditionally associated with Blood-related applications.
Du Zhong (Eucommia ulmoides) is the bark of the Eucommia tree and is another long-established Chinese herbal ingredient. Traditional Chinese herbal literature associates Du Zhong with the Liver and Kidney systems and with supporting the body's foundational strength within TCM theory.
The remaining six herbs create a broader traditional formula rather than simply combining Tian San Qi and Du Zhong by themselves.
Why Choose Teapills?
Traditional Chinese herbal formulas were historically prepared by simmering herbs in water to make a decoction. Prepared teapills provide a convenient alternative for people who prefer not to prepare an herbal decoction at home.
- No brewing or simmering required
- Small prepared herbal pills
- Convenient for home or travel
- Pre-combined traditional formula
- Easy to take with water
Despite the name, teapills are swallowed rather than brewed as tea. Their naturally herbal ingredients may give the pills a slightly bitter or aromatic taste.
