In this episode, four licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors come together to unpack one important question: Could the Chinese herbs you’re taking actually be making you feel worse?
From goji berries and ginseng to dandelion tea, “superfoods,” and Chinatown herbal shops, we explore how self-prescribing, influencer wellness, improper dosages, and low-quality herbs can distort the way Chinese medicine is meant to work.
We discuss:
- Why there is no universal “superfood” in Chinese medicine
- How the wrong herb can worsen your symptoms
- Why your constitution and diagnosis matter
- The difference between food-grade and medical-grade herbs
- Why more herbs don’t always mean better results
- How Chinese medicine addresses root causes—not just symptoms
- What TCM can offer before and after surgery
- Why personalized formulas matter for complex conditions
Chinese herbs are not simply foods, supplements, or wellness trends. They are medicine—and the right herb for one person may be completely wrong for another.
If you’re taking Chinese herbs on your own, this episode may change the way you approach them.
