What is this kit?

root + spring's Chinese Herbal Broth and Soup Mix for Revitalization makes a delicious, nourishing soup with natural moisturizing and energizing properties, which supports restoring the mind and reviving the spirit. Featuring key ingredients crunchy Sea Coconut (Coco de Mer) and American Ginseng, this special tonic will naturally cool, rehydrate and revitalize the body.

Rather than the warming, drier energy of Asian Ginseng, American Ginseng is a quenching, moisturizing tonic. In Chinese medicine, American Ginseng is used to benefit the vital essence or Qi, generate fluids and nourish Yin, and relieve pathogenic fire. As the old saying goes, “American ginseng is the ideal alternative to Asian ginseng when people need it but can’t handle its warming nature”. This mix is particularly delicious when made with pork bones.

How can a hot soup alleviate seasonal heat?

In traditional Chinese medicine, herbs are classified by not the temperature of the food or formula they are in, but by the effects they have on the body. American Ginseng has a highly praised therapeutic value for cooling the body temperature, and, when paired with Sea Coconut, can effectively replenish the body with hydration.
How do I use this?

Makes 4 hearty servings! Instructions are included. Just a 5 minute prep time!

The slow cooker is a great modern way for making herbal soups. Not only does it have an earthern inner pot, it controls the cooking temperature and achieves a steady simmer without needing close supervision.

For maximum shelf life, please store in a cool, dry place (refrigerator's bottom shelf is okay).
What are the ingredients?
  • American Ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) - Ginseng’s effect is adaptogenic, which means it tends to return the body to normal while increasing resistance to adverse influences to the body. This herb will help boost your immune system all while cooling your body temperature, clearing the heat, and nourishing yin. 
  • Sea Coconut (Hai Di Ye) - Sea coconut is a common ingredient in summer herbal soups because it nourishes the dry heat in the lungs so well. Originating in Seychelles and sometimes referred to as coco de mer, this coconut stays crunchy even if boiled for hours.
  • Dried Asian Pear (Ya Li) - The health benefits of Asian pears are plentiful. They can increase the body’s yin fluid and clear heat, cooling the body. These effects particularly relate to the lung and stomach organs and meridians.
  • Bitter Almonds (Bei Xing Ren) - These aren’t true almonds, but the kernels of several varieties of apricot that are grown specifically for their seeds. They cannot be eaten raw but are used specifically in Chinese medicine and, after boiled, release biochemicals that clear and nourish the lungs and intestines.
  • Sweet Almonds (Nan Xing Ren) - Sweet almonds are larger and functionally quite similar to the western almonds we commonly find in markets. Sweet almonds are tastier, and can help brighten and moisturize the skin and hair.
  • White Lotus Seeds (Lian Zi) - Containing L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase, an enzyme with anti-aging properties that helps to repair damaged proteins, white lotus seeds are also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. They help regulate the energy levels of the body, restore health, expel heat while being neutral in nature, calm nerves and strengthen the spleen and stomach. 
  • Dried Goji Berries (Gou Ji Zi) - Helps boost the immune system and protect the body from high levels of inflammation since goji berries fight free radical damage.
  • Dried Honey Dates (Mut Cho) - Also known as golden-thread amber honey dates, they are larger and sweeter (as sweet as honey) than dried red dates and are high in iron and considered “cooling”.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Chinese Herbal Broth and Soup Mix for Revitalization?

It is a ready-to-cook blend of whole Chinese herbs that makes a cooling, moisturizing tonic soup. Built around American Ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) and crunchy Sea Coconut, it follows the Chinese food therapy tradition of replenishing fluids and supporting energy, especially in hot or dry weather. Each package makes 4 hearty servings and is handcrafted in small batches in the USA.

What is the Revitalization soup mix traditionally used for in Chinese medicine?

In Chinese medicine this mix is traditionally used to invigorate Qi, nourish Yin, and clear heat. That pattern often shows up as a dry mouth and throat, dry skin, restless sleep, lethargy, or feeling overheated. American Ginseng and Asian pear help generate fluids, while lotus seeds and goji add gentle nourishment. Think of it as a soothing, hydrating soup for times when you feel dried out and run down.

What ingredients are in the Revitalization broth mix?

The mix contains eight whole ingredients. They are American Ginseng (Xi Yang Shen), Sea Coconut (Hai Di Ye), dried Asian pear (Ya Li), bitter almonds (Bei Xing Ren), sweet almonds (Nan Xing Ren), white lotus seeds (Lian Zi), dried goji berries (Gou Qi Zi), and dried honey dates. Everything is 100% natural and packed in small batches so the herbs reach you fresh.

How do I cook this Chinese herbal soup mix?

Step-by-step cooking instructions are included in every package, and prep takes only about five minutes. The herbs simmer into a fragrant broth with very little hands-on work. This mix is especially delicious made with pork bones, which add body and a gentle savory note to the sweet, cooling herbs. The Sea Coconut stays pleasantly crunchy even after a long simmer.

Why does this soup use American Ginseng instead of Asian Ginseng?

American Ginseng is cooling and moisturizing, while Asian Ginseng is warming and drier. In Chinese medicine, American Ginseng benefits Qi, generates fluids, nourishes Yin, and clears heat, which makes it a better match for people who run warm or feel dried out. As the old saying goes, it is the ideal alternative when someone needs ginseng but cannot handle the warming nature of the Asian root.

How can a hot soup be cooling in Chinese medicine?

In traditional Chinese medicine, foods and herbs are classified by the effect they have on the body, not by the temperature they are served at. American Ginseng is valued for its cooling nature, and paired with Sea Coconut and Asian pear it helps replenish moisture. So even served steaming hot, this soup is considered cooling and hydrating, which is why it is a favorite in summer and dry seasons.

Is the Revitalization soup mix safe for everyone?

This is a food-style tonic, but a few cautions apply. Bitter almonds (apricot kernels) are never eaten raw and should only be eaten after boiling as directed. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, plan to serve it to young children, or take prescription medicines, check with your doctor or a Chinese medicine practitioner first. Because it is cooling, people who tend to feel cold or have loose stools may want to enjoy it less often.

How many servings does one package make, and how should I store it?

One package makes 4 hearty servings. For the longest shelf life, keep the dry herbs in a cool, dry place, and the bottom shelf of the refrigerator works well too. Once cooked, store the soup like any homemade broth and refrigerate leftovers promptly. Keeping an extra package in the pantry makes it easy to put a pot on whenever the weather turns hot or dry.
