What is this kit?

root + spring's Chinese Herbal Broth and Soup Mix for Detoxification is for those that have accumulated too much heat in their system, something the Chinese call "yeet hay". Literally meaning "hot air", yeet hay is a term used in Chinese medicine to indicate a state of being too "hot" internally and it is brought upon by eating lots of fried, greasy, or unhealthy foods.

The symptoms can vary depending on how much of a detox you need. If you are only slightly hot inside, you will probably have a slight sore throat and some acne/pimples but if you are overly hot, mouth sores and nose bleeds are not uncommon.

Made in USA.

What are the ingredients?
  • Chinese Almonds (Xing Ren) - These "almonds" are not almonds at all, but actually apricot kernels. This herb directs heat downward and soothes the lungs. It also helps with intestinal dryness and moistens intestines to relax bowels.
  • Codonopsis Root (Dang Shen) - Promotes general good health.
  • Dried Chinese Wild Yam (Huai Shan) - Enhances energy, aids digestion, promotes muscle growth and repairs worn-out tissue, and help alleviate bodily weakness after a long-term illness.
  • Dried Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi) - Helps boost the immune system and protect the body from high levels of inflammation since goji berries fight free radical damage.
  • Dried Lily Bulbs (Bai He) - Widely applied to calm spirit, clear heat, and moisten lungs to relieve cough. It is capable of nourishing Yin and is mainly used for ascending fire due to Yin deficiency.
  • Euryale Seeds (Qian Shi) - Known as the "water ginseng" thanks to its aquatic nature and high medicinal value, euryale seeds lead to an enhancement of vitality, anti-aging, life extension, weight loss, and youthful-looking skin. 
  • Longan (Longyan) - Supports restful sleep and replenishes blood and Qi.
  • 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. 

Frequently asked questions

What does yeet hay mean in Chinese medicine?

Yeet hay is a Cantonese term meaning "hot air," used to describe being too hot internally. It is commonly linked to eating a lot of fried, greasy, or unhealthy food. A little yeet hay may show up as a scratchy throat or a few pimples, while more internal heat can bring mouth sores or nosebleeds. Cooling herbal soups like this one are a traditional household response.

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

It is root + spring's whole-herb soup kit for cooling yeet hay, or internal heat. In Chinese medicine its herbs are traditionally used to invigorate Qi, calm the Shen (spirit), and clear heat, while also supporting restful sleep and overall strength. Each package makes 4 hearty servings, is handcrafted in small batches in the USA, and takes about five minutes to prep.

What herbs are in the Yeet Hay detox soup mix?

The mix contains Chinese almonds (Xing Ren, which are apricot kernels), Codonopsis root (Dang Shen), Chinese wild yam (Huai Shan), goji berries (Gou Qi Zi), lily bulbs (Bai He), euryale seeds (Qian Shi), longan (Long Yan), and white lotus seeds (Lian Zi). These are classic ingredients in Cantonese soups, chosen to cool, moisten, and nourish at the same time.

Can I make the detox soup in a slow cooker?

Yes, a slow cooker is a great way to make it. Full instructions come in every package and prep takes about five minutes. A slow cooker holds a steady, gentle simmer without close supervision, and many have an earthenware inner pot, which suits herbal soups well. A pot on the stove at a low simmer works just as well if you prefer.

When is a good time to have the Detoxification soup?

It is traditionally enjoyed when you feel overheated inside, such as after a stretch of fried food, takeout, or rich holiday meals. In Chinese medicine, signs people associate with this include a sore throat, pimples, or mouth sores. Because it also includes nourishing herbs like Codonopsis, wild yam, and longan, it is gentle enough to enjoy as a regular family soup.

How is the Detoxification broth mix different from the Revitalization mix?

Both are cooling soups, but they lean in different directions. The Detoxification mix is aimed at yeet hay from rich or greasy eating, using lily bulb, Codonopsis, longan, and lotus seed to clear heat and calm the spirit. The Revitalization mix centers on American Ginseng and Sea Coconut to replenish fluids and nourish Yin, so it suits times when you feel dried out and depleted.

Is the detox soup mix safe during pregnancy or for kids?

These are food-grade herbs used in traditional family soups, but it is still best to check with your doctor or a Chinese medicine practitioner before serving it during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or to young children. The apricot kernels (Xing Ren) should only be eaten after cooking as directed. If you take prescription medicines, ask about possible interactions before making it a regular habit.

How many servings does the Yeet Hay soup mix make, and how do I store it?

Each package makes 4 hearty servings. Store the dry herbs in a cool, dry place for the longest shelf life, and the bottom shelf of your refrigerator is fine too. The mix is made from 100% natural ingredients, handcrafted in small batches so the herbs reach you as fresh as possible. Refrigerate any leftover soup as you would homemade broth.
