Upper Chamber Teapills – Cang Er Zi Wan
Traditional Chinese Herbal Formula | Plum Flower | 200 Teapills
Discover Upper Chamber Teapills, also known as Cang Er Zi Wan, a traditional Chinese herbal combination with a long history in Chinese herbal practice.
This four-herb formula features Cang Er Zi (Xanthium fruit), Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica root), Xin Yi Hua (Magnolia flower), and Bo He (Mint).
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the formula is historically associated with the concepts of Wind and the upper portion of the body. These terms belong to a traditional system of herbal classification and are not equivalent to modern medical diagnoses.
Conveniently prepared as small teapills, Upper Chamber requires no brewing, measuring, or straining.
What Is Upper Chamber – Cang Er Zi Wan?
Cang Er Zi Wan is a prepared version of the traditional Chinese herbal formula associated with Cang Er Zi San.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the formula is traditionally used to:
-
Dispel Wind
-
Open the nasal passages
-
Benefit the nose
-
Dispel turbidity
These are Traditional Chinese Medicine functions, not Western medical diagnoses or treatment claims.
What Does "Dispel Wind and Open the Nose" Mean?
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses terms such as Wind and turbidity to describe patterns rather than specific diseases.
In everyday language, someone researching Cang Er Zi Wan may be looking for a traditional formula when the nose feels stuffy, obstructed or difficult to clear.
That does not mean every case of nasal discomfort represents the same TCM pattern. Persistent, severe or unexplained symptoms should be appropriately evaluated.

What makes Upper Chamber different?
Unlike general-purpose herbal supplements, Upper Chamber is a specific four-herb formula rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its ingredients reflect traditional herbal formulation principles rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Important: Traditional Chinese Medicine terminology describes historical herbal practices and should not be interpreted as a medical diagnosis or a claim to treat disease. Consult a qualified healthcare professional to determine whether this formula is appropriate for your individual needs.
Why These Four Herbs?
Cang Er Zi — Xanthium Fruit
Cang Er Zi is traditionally associated with dispelling Wind and benefiting the nose. It is the defining herb of Cang Er Zi Wan.
Bai Zhi — Angelica Dahurica Root
Bai Zhi has a long history in Chinese herbalism and is traditionally associated with dispersing Wind and opening the nasal passages.
Xin Yi Hua — Magnolia Flower
Xin Yi Hua is another traditional Chinese herb strongly associated with the nose and nasal passages.
Its inclusion alongside Cang Er Zi and Bai Zhi gives Upper Chamber its concentrated traditional focus on the nose.
Bo He — Mint
Bo He is traditionally associated with dispersing Wind and clearing the head. It complements the three principal nasal-focused herbs in this prepared formula.
Why Teapills & How Do I Use Them?
Traditional Chinese herbal formulas can be prepared by measuring individual herbs and simmering them in water to make a decoction.
Upper Chamber Teapills provide the formula in a much more convenient prepared form.
There is no measuring, simmering or straining. Simply take the teapills with water according to the product directions.
Label Directions
Take 8 teapills, 3 times per day.
At the label directions of 24 teapills per day, one 200-count bottle provides approximately 8 days of use.
Follow the product label unless your qualified healthcare professional or Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner has provided different instructions.
Cang Er Zi Wan vs. Cang Er Zi San — What's the Difference?
These names can be confusing when you're shopping for Chinese herbs.
Cang Er Zi San is the name commonly associated with the traditional herbal formula.
Cang Er Zi Wan refers to a prepared pill form associated with that traditional formula.
The word Wan generally indicates a pill, while San traditionally refers to a powder.
