CUSTOMIZED HERBAL TEA

Based on tongue diagnosis, according to Chinese Medicine System + Birthday Calculation

Our Chinese Home Therapy service is unique in that it combines modern technology with over 3,000 years of traditional Chinese medicine to give you a personalized herbal tea formula based on your tongue diagnosis and symptoms. 

With a professional camera or smartphone, you can take a picture of your tongue and help Dr Yaron Wu to analyze it, according to the color, texture, and coating. This information is combined with your birthday calculation and basic questionnaire intake online to determine which herbs will most effectively treat your symptoms. 

We work with patients around the world, including China, Canada, and the US, to help them feel better every day. Our goal is to guide you through the process so that you can feel confident about taking control of your own health—and we’ll be there with you every step of the way!

Birthday calculation is a Feng-Shui practice in China based on I-ching or Yi-ching (The Book of Change 易经), a philosophical text dating back 5,000 years. It is considered the foundation of all Chinese culture, including Chinese medicine.

Dr Wu has spent decades to study Yi- Jing (易经), and has followed two big masters: one for Yi-Yi易医(Acupuncture based on Yi- Jing (易经), and another master for Feng-Shui and birthday calculation.

Dr Wu helps hundreds of patients every year based on tongue pictures and has shipped herbs to all over the United States, Canada, and China. 

 

(Optional) Moxa / Moxibustion艾灸 (A heating therapy)

Moxa is a heating therapy that has been used in Chinese medicine for over 3000 years to treat the “cold” 寒and “weak” 虚 symptoms. The herb Artemisia princeps, which is used in moxibustion, not only is used as a heating therapy, but it has been used as an intake herb and its young leaves have been used for food ingredients in China, Korea, and Japan for over 3000 years. Moxa is the best treatment for improving metabolism rate for energy, digestion and circulation in Chinese medicine. It also has the dual effect of tonification and purgation, according to Chinese Medicine theories.

How To Take Your Tongue Picture (English)

1. Place your tongue at the center of your mouth and don't tilt it.

2. Place the camera at nose level, about 30cm away from your face.

3. Make sure you can see your nose and jaw in the photo; don't make the scope of it too big or too small—just right.

4. Make sure that when you take the photo, it's focused on what matters most (i.e., your tongue).

5. If you're taking a night-time or dark-room shot, use fluorescent light bulbs (or other natural light).

6. Avoid tinted windows and things that might reflect light in your surroundings.

7. Relax! We don't want to see you tense up or overexert yourself—that can affect the blood circulation and make it look like your tongue isn't as healthy as it could be.

8. Try to stick your tongue out naturally, fully exposing its root. The more relaxed you are, the better result we'll get.

9. If this is your first time, it might take some practice before your tongue relaxes, flattens out to both sides, and hangs down the tip. So don't shy away from taking too many retakes. 

Note: Chronic diseases require home therapy for 3-6 months, so we'll send the herbal tea on the 15th day of each month at your own cost (USPS 2 days shipping for around $8). After 15 days, resend us your tongue picture and reply with your current condition and improvements, so we can reevaluate based on the new condition and modify the herbal formula before sending another 15 days' worth of herbal tea.

If you like what you see after those 15 days—and we think you will!—we'd be happy to sell you our moxa stick for just $50 for 54 pieces (1:30 Moxa), which will help support your metabolism rate and keep your body healthy as long as possible.
