It is a general tonic for alleviating menstrual disorders and other blood deficiency syndromes (such as fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, poor memory), as well as for treating yin deficiency syndromes (such as dry mouth and throat, flushed cheeks, and perspiration at night).

A recent study on the nutritional content of eggs also showed that vitamins B2, B6, D and E, calcium, and potassium content in silkie chicken eggs were significantly higher than those of regular chicken eggs.

It is thus no wonder that black sugar would be combined with ginger to treat menstrual pain.  Indeed, a 2018 study out of Taiwan found that college-age women who drank ginger and black sugar tea during menstruation were found to have significantly less pain than a control group that did not receive any intervention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecently, however, some Chinese doctors have pushed back against the unilateral use of ginger and black sugar cubes for menstrual pain. This is due to the fact that there are multiple mechanisms of pain during menstruation, and ginger and black sugar cubes are not suitable for every mechanism. In general, the cubes are best suited for women who are averse to cold, often have cold hands, feet, and lower abdomen, and are prone to diarrhea or unformed stools. For women with menstrual pain that are averse to heat, often thirsty, and tend toward constipation, ginger and black cubes are not a good option.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eClinical Studies\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003eModern studies confirm the experiential findings of the ancient Chinese, with several studies noting the positive effects of ginger on the gastrointestinal system.

This formula was created by the famous Jin dynasty doctor Li Dongyuan (1180-1251) and called Yi Qi Cong Ming Tang (also spelled Yiqi Congming), translated as “promote qi to engender good hearing and vision decoction.” In modern times, this herbal formula has been widely used for a variety of ear and eye issues. The master 20th century physician Liu Duzhou, for instance, was well-known for using this formula in the treatment of Meniere’s disease, which causes sudden bouts of vertigo and tinnitus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLi Dongyuan, described the formula as follows: It supports eye and ear health, targeting issues “which arise due to poor dietary habits and over-exertion causing weakened digestion and absorption.” Li was the first scholar-physician to highlight the importance of gut-health in diseases of the eyes and ears. He famously stated, “When digestion is weakened, the 7 orifices of the head will become blocked.” Some 1,000 years later, Western science is now also recognizing the relation between gut health and sensory organs, with new studies highlighting the role of gut-related inflammatory and immune mechanisms contributing to diseases like Meniere’s and uveitis.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern clinical research on Yi Qi Cong Ming Tang has also confirmed its efficacy in a number of diseases. A 2021 meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials, published in the Chinese Journal of Ethnomedicine and Ethnopharmacy, found Yi Qi Cong Ming Tang to be consistently more effective than Western medical interventions in the treatment of dizziness\/vertigo, while in a Tianjin hospital study of patients with tinnitus from 2015-2017, the formula was found to have an 89.19% effectiveness rate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of Yi Qi Cong Ming Tang’s effectiveness invariably stems from its principal herb, the powerhouse adaptogen Astragalus membranaceus or Huang Qi. Huang Qi is a powerful tonic for the digestive system: in a 2020 animal study, it was found to repair the gut after antibiotic use, adjust gut microbiota and increase SCFA levels (which provide energy to the epithelial cells of the gut).  Aside from improving digestion and absorption which indirectly improve eye and ear related issues, Huang Qi has also been proven to regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation while also protecting the heart and improving circulation. Inflammation and poor circulation can cause havoc on the fine structures of the ears and eyes, leading to increased eye strain, floaters and even dizziness. Huang Qi, along with the other herbs in this formula, restore the integrity of the gut, regulate immunity and inflammatory response, and improve circulation to restore function in the eyes and ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all Chinese medical formulas, Yi Qi Cong Ming Tang was designed with a particular constitution in mind. In this case, those who experience dizziness, tinnitus, eye floaters and eye strain in the context of overall lethargy, poor digestion and weak appetite will find the most success with this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: Take 2 packets per day swallowed with water (each box contains 12 packets, enough for 6 days).

However, tea resin disappeared during the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, during which the artisanal methods of making tea resin were almost entirely lost. It was also recognized as a medicinal in the Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica, compiled by Zhao Xuemin between 1765 and 1805, and was noted as an herbal remedy for hangovers, improving digestion, and reducing phlegm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, we are reintroducing this rare form of tea that is unknown even to most tea aficionados with these brocade tea tins, each containing 100 grams of individually wrapped ripe Pu'er tea resin shaped into mooncakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a concentrated tea paste, tea resin can be considered a form of instant tea--however, unlike most instant teas, the tea resin we sourced is made from higher grade tea leaves, not inferior \"leftover tea.\" It has the advantage of dissolving quickly and creating a pure tea, leaving no leaves or sediment in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePu’er, also spelled Pu-er (although this is considered an outdated Anglicized spelling), is an aged fermented tea from China’s Yunnan province.

It has junkies who buy kilos of the stuff at a time to bliss out on days-long brewing sessions, only dropping out of their highs long enough to argue over the best pu-erh blends, growing regions, and storage methods.

Nannuo’s old trees are known to produce some of the best tea in the entire region. This is a raw Pu'er tea with an aromatic, honey-like, mellow but refreshing flavor, and each rectangular square of tea resin makes about two cups of tea. Each box contains about 70g, around 108-115 pieces. We also have resealable 50g paper bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea resin, or Cha Gao, is a rare and ancient method of tea-making that involves slow-cooking tea leaves until it turns into a thick paste, and then dried into a resin. This unique tea form originated in the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD) and was made mostly as a delicacy for the ruling classes and the imperial court due to its labor-intensive preparation process. However, tea resin disappeared during the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, during which the artisanal methods of making tea resin were almost entirely lost. It was also recognized as a medicinal in the Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica, compiled by Zhao Xuemin between 1765 and 1805, and was noted as an herbal remedy for hangovers, improving digestion, and reducing phlegm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, we are reintroducing this rare form of tea that is unknown even to most tea aficionados with these small boxes of tea resin, each containing 70 grams of individually wrapped 2019 aged ripe Pu'er tea resin from Nannuo Mountain old trees in a rectangular shape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a concentrated tea paste, tea resin can be considered a form of instant tea--however, unlike most instant teas, the tea resin we sourced is made from higher grade tea leaves, not inferior \"leftover tea.\" It has the advantage of dissolving quickly and creating a pure tea, leaving no leaves or sediment in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePu’er, also spelled Pu-er (although this is considered an outdated Anglicized spelling), is an aged fermented tea from China’s Yunnan province. Not only does the fermentation process lend pu’er its distinct flavor, it also boosts its medicinal properties—pu’er tea is high in antioxidants, and studies show it can fight oxidative stress, promote weight loss, and regulate blood sugar. Pu’er tea also possesses anti-cancer properties. It has a lower caffeine level, less than coffee and green tea, which make it a great choice for drinking late into the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s also a highly-coveted tea with an obsessed fanbase. As one writer said, “Pu-erh, which is processed in a special way to encourage microbial fermentation after the leaves are dried, ages more dynamically than any tea out there. It does not have fans. It has junkies who buy kilos of the stuff at a time to bliss out on days-long brewing sessions, only dropping out of their highs long enough to argue over the best pu-erh blends, growing regions, and storage methods. There are grasping amateurs who buy, gift, and drink the tea to gain social status among Chinese elite.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePu’er has been called China’s best-kept secret for weight loss. Animal and test-tube studies show that it can help synthesize fewer new fats while burning more stored body fat.

Due to its limited availability, Cordyceps did not become known in China until as late as the Qing dynasty. The first mention of the medicinal comes from the 1713 volume “Annals of Sichuan” in which it was purported to be “warm in nature and restorative of the vital essences”. Subsequent Chinese materia medica would all generally emphasize Cordyceps effectiveness in chronic lung conditions and its potency as a virility-enhancing drug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn modern times, the celebrated Chinese physician Li Ke (李可) used Cordyceps as a key medicinal in his formulas for treating people recovering from diseases of the lungs such as chronic bronchitis and pulmonary fibrosis.

The spores are small and have a notoriously hard cell wall, containing all of the nutrients inside.
