When brewed in hot water 決明子 (Jue Ming Zi) aka cassia seeds offer the slightly bitter earthiness of coffee but without the caffeine buzz. Traditionally used in formulas for eye issues such as eye redness and irritation, Jue Ming Zi also has a slippery quality that herbalists use to promote healthy bowel movements. Great pairing with for eliminating lipids from the digestive tract. Curious about how herbs can help you? Drop us a message!

山楂(Shan Zha) aka hawthorn berry is famous for regulating blood cholesterol but how does it work? Its sour flavor helps to gather lipids in your belly which allows your body to encapsulate and metabolize fat. Hawthorn berry is found in many forms including: charred to mitigate the sourness, coated in caramelized sugar for a sweet & sour street snack, made into candy as a digestive aid in children. Analog Wellness routinely prescribes herbs such as Shan Zha to patients to achieve their health goals. Find out how we can help.
