Support Cancer Healing Tea


Hong Zao (Da Zao), also known as the Chinese red date or as the Jujube date, originated from China and has been cultivated for 4000 years. Da Zao is sweet in flavour and warm in nature. It tonifies and augments Qi, tonifies the Spleen, nourishes the Blood and calms the Shen (Spirit). It is also used to harmonize and moderate the harsh properties of other herbs in a formula.


Yi Yi Ren, also known as Job's Tears or coix seeds, is a staple in TCM for its ability to drain dampness and strengthen the spleen. It is believed to have diuretic properties, helping to eliminate excess moisture from the body, and is particularly effective in draining damp-heat.


When used in conjuction, these “food herbs” can be an excellent immune and/or cancer supportive tea. Simply brew 10g of each herb and drink daily or as needed.


For Yang Deficiency:

  • Add 10g ginger for cold yang deficiency

  • Add Ginseng for weakness


For Yin Deficiency:

  • Add Goji berries and Huang Jing*. When taken together, these two herbs strengthen Kidney Yin


Huang Jing

 *Huang Jing is actually known in TCM as “Immortality Medicine.” Also known as Soloman’s Seal, it is an herb that tonifies Qi, nourishes Yin, fortifies the Spleen, moistens the Lungs and tonifies the Kidney. In the Taoist tradition, Huang Jing is one of the most important of all tonic herbs. It is said to “make the body light, to benefit the Qi, and to clear the eyes. Its taste is sweet, and it has no poison.” Taoists believe that ingesting Huang Jing is a way to consume cosmic Qi of a strong Yang nature, which in turn confers primordial Yang characteristics into their bodies. It can tonify all Three Treasures at a profound level. It connects the consumer to heaven, or spirit, or to a higher level. As we might say it today, it puts you in a “high vibrational state.”
