Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your herbal tea formulas effective? Are they based on scientific evidence?
Our teas are rooted in centuries of traditional wisdom, backed by modern validation. Unlike generic herbal blends, our formulas are sourced directly from classical Chinese pharmacopoeias, like the Compendium of Materia Medica. These recipes have been used and refined for hundreds of years. Furthermore, our commitment to quality means we use only potent, organic herbs and our production facility is FDA-accredited, ensuring a consistent, high-quality product you can trust for real results.
How can I be sure your teas are safe and free from contaminants?
Your safety is our top priority, and we go above and beyond to prove it. We implement a rigorous, multi-step safety protocol:
- Organic Cultivation: All our herbs are 100% organically grown, with no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
- FDA Accreditation: Our facility operates under the strict standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
- Third-Party Lab Testing: Every batch is tested by independent labs for heavy metals, microbes, and other contaminants, ensuring unparalleled purity and safety.
How soon can I expect to feel the benefits after drinking your tea?
Herbal wellness works in harmony with your body, so results can vary based on individual constitution and consistency. While some may feel a sense of calm or increased energy after the first few cups, most significant and lasting benefits—such as improved digestion or sustained vitality—are typically noticed with regular consumption over 2 to 4 weeks. We recommend making our tea a part of your daily ritual to fully experience the cumulative balancing effects.
How do I brew your tea for the best results?
To unlock the full benefits and flavor of our organic herbs, we recommend this method:
- Use freshly boiled water (approx. 200°F or 95°C).
- Steep the tea bag for 7-10 minutes. A longer steeping time is crucial to fully extract the beneficial compounds from the dense herbs.
- You can re-steep the same bag once for a second, slightly lighter cup.
Enjoy it warm, and consider a mindful moment as you drink—this ritual is part of the healing process.
Can I drink your teas if I have a medical condition or am taking medication?
We always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing any new herbal product into your routine, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a known medical condition, or are taking prescription medication. While our teas are made from natural, food-grade ingredients, some herbs may interact with medications. Your doctor is the best resource to ensure our teas are a safe and wonderful addition to your health regimen.You can also contact us: Email: contact@tcmtaichi.com
I'm a complete beginner at Tai Chi. Can I keep up with the courses?
Absolutely! Our courses are specifically designed for absolute beginners. Each movement is broken down in high-definition video with detailed written instructions. You can watch and practice at your own pace, so there’s no need to worry about keeping up.
How long before I see results from practicing Tai Chi/studying TCM wellness?
Wellness is a gradual process of continuous accumulation. Results vary from person to person, but most students report feeling more relaxed, experiencing improved sleep quality, and having more energy after consistently practicing for 2-4 weeks. For managing chronic issues, please be more patient, as more significant improvements are typically noticed after persisting for 3 months or more. We encourage you to pay attention to the subtle changes in your body and enjoy this process of connecting with yourself.
Are the courses targeted at specific health issues? For example, can it help my neck pain/insomnia?
Tai Chi and TCM wellness methods are excellent for辅助调理 (assisting in regulating) suboptimal health conditions, such as neck and shoulder discomfort, sleep problems, fatigue, and poor digestion. However, please be aware that our courses are not a substitute for formal medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have a specific diagnosed condition, we recommend using our courses as a complementary method for rehabilitation and improving your quality of life while following your doctor’s advice.

Is your TCM theory backed by scientific evidence?
