What is it?:

Dendrobium Stem (Shi Hu) Herbal Tincture is a single Chinese Herb that functions as a yin tonic. This means that it replaces the cooling, nourishing fluids in the body that have been depleted over time due to chronic overwork, illness, or other factors.

What else you might like to know:

It is important to understand that Chinese herbs work by restoring balance to the body. This means that you usually have to take an herb or a formula for a longer period of time than you would with pharmaceuticals in order to get results-- usually at least a month, and often times longer than that... it all depends on the individual and the nature of the ailment being addressed.
