Goji Berry + Chrysanthemum flower tea - a Chinese herbal tea that is famous for eye health in Traditional Chinese Medicine. added Cassia seed to the blend to add its function, and it also has an additional function to relieve constipation. However, please avoid taking it if you are pregnant.
I will teach you how to make the tea and it is much easier than you think! I also briefly explain the properties of each herb and what they are TRADITIONALLY used for. I hope this information will help you make a more conscious decision about which herb you would choose to make your own herbal tea. This is what Chinese Medicine is all about!
And thanks for watching! This is my FIRST-ever UA-cam Video! Sorry, I know I rambled🤣. I was so nervous in front of the camera!

Hi Shirley, I have been experiencing dry eyes for a long time. It makes it hard for me to sleep, and sometimes painful. My TCM helped a lot, my condition improved after a few months of treatment. Currently I am maintaining with goji berry and chrysanthemum tea. I think I will apply your formula. Thank you very much.
Hi @Thai-Phuong, I am glad to hear TCM has been helpful for your dry eyes symptoms. Yeah you could try this recipe and see how you go. Since you have already been taking goji berry and chrysanthemum tea, my recipe has an additional ingredient - Cassia seed. Please note that the cassia seed may cause mild diarrhoea, or I would say add it when you feel more 'heaty' than normal, or when you have constipation. Please double check with your TCM practitioner to see if adding Cassia seed is suitable for you. Take care!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry Thanks for your advice. Even though I no longer take medication, I still keep in touch with my TCM doctor. I also look forward to your videos on the topic of losing weight or helping to eat better. :)
@@thai-phuongdl8362 great that you are in touch with your TCM doctor. Please double-check with her/him about this tea. Thanks for your suggestion for future topics, I will keep them in mind😊
I drink chrysanthemum and goji very often, will try adding cassia seeds. Thanks!
@clementinasalsera, lovely to hear. Just note that cassia seed has a mild laxative effect. Otherwise, enjoy 😊😋
I truly appreciate you!! I trust the timing !! A customer randomly gave me those herbs and me not knowing it’ll help my eyes …I found your video 😍🙌🏽
Hi @Cynthia, thanks so much! I am touched to see this and so happy this video gave you the information you need just you need it! Me too, really trust and believe in timing 😘 Enjoy your tea and hope to see you at my next video!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry thank you keep up the good work 🥰🤍 I look forward to your new videos
@Cynthia, I am very slow in production🤣 yet I put 300% (!) in every video here I make 😄 thank you for your warm support and encouragement! 😘

Best drink 4 de eye!
Yeah especially with Goji berry is such a classic.
Shirley Great Video 🙌🙌🙌 I would ask if you could helps us with a tea recipe for the winter 🥶 🍵
Hi Karcros, thanks for suggesting! I will put this in my future video list! Meantime, my 'Winter Wellness' has some recommendations for winter tea but they are not as detailed as this video. I also summarised it in one of my Instagram post instagram.com/p/CEG8AJ-ntQw/ . I will make one proper video soon! Stay tuned 😊
Hi... Thanks for sharing. Love to watch your video
Hi @Sylvia, I am very happy to hear you are loving my videos 😊 Thank you so much! xxx
has it improved your vision since it’s your favorite and you wear glasses like me?
HI @Shaun, this herbal is meant to be help to support eye health, relieve dry eyes or red eyes caused by overuse. However, it is NOT meant to be able to reserve short-sightedness. I have short-sightedness since very young age as I didn't know how to look after my eyes. Please see this herbal tea as a support for eye health, it is definitely can't treat or cure short-sightedness or any other eye diseases. I hope this clarifies!
I really love your videos. Thank you Shirley🙏🙏. I want to learn more. I will join your online course
@yasmeen, so happy to hear you love my videos and you are interested in my online course. Would absolutely love to see you in my course later in the year. I will teach again in Nov. Stay tuned! 😊
Bravo Shirley c'est top.
Thanks Stephane! I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and making video 😊
Are there different types of chrysanthemum teas? Is the quality better if the flowers are in its whole shape, due to its quality and potency, so I am confused, and need your advice. Thanks
@annechee, check out this video - ua-cam.com/video/opyTtfW675A/v-deo.htmlsi=Nu9-s8attA0ZiglA . Look at the timestamps, there was a question about chrysanthemum flowers.
Do you have video about red ginseng from China?
I suggested to make close up of the subject pls, because I can’t see how looks like cassia seeds. :)
Hi @Jasmine , thanks for the feedback. I will try to make more close up shots for the future videos. ☺️
Hello Shirley just found your channel so glad I found you. Love your videos. I was wondering maybe you could do one for nerve pain and inflammation
Hi @a b , thank you and so happy that you love my videos. Thank you for your suggestion. However, nerve pain and inflammation are not something a herbal tea can help as these are more complex health conditions. It would be best you look for a local qualified Chinese Medicine practitioner to help you navigate these conditions. Herbal tea is great for everyday wellbeing, minor symptoms and as preventative measures. Hope this helps! Take good care and wishing you good health!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry ty for getting back. Unfortunately where I am there is no Chinese practitioners.
@@golden3192 I am sorry to hear there are no Chinese Medicine practitioners where you are. If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? Chinese medicine is not like Western medicine. You have a headache or pain, then give paracetamol and most people will get results. Chinese medicine is very focused on individualised treatment, because we believe everyone is different and unique, and the symptoms presenting are very different from each person too. And we need to look at the overall symptoms, even if you go to see a Chinese medicine practitioner for nerve pain and inflammation, she/he will ask many seemingly unrelated questions, such as bowel motions, sleeping pattern, eating habit, feeling cold or warm etc. So, we can formulate an individualized herbal prescription for you. And this is where the power of Chinese medicine lies. So, I wish you all the very best and will be able to find a nearby Chinese medicine practitioner who can help you! Good luck!
Shirley, what other teas/soups may one take to overcome ‘dry mouth’? Did you say a cause of this complaint is the body is ‘heaty’ ?
Hi @Wai Suin, did you see I have a playlist for 'dryness' in general. You can check out some of the videos there. Following is the link to the playlist.
ua-cam.com/play/PLc9fGV9UywYOt5LtA3Uk2_ZIUkjhcLQCG.html
Hope the above helps!
As for the cause of 'dry mouth', there are many causes. Heat may be one of them but it is not the only one reason. Please check with your local qualified TCM doctor for your own condition. Take care!
Love your video
@Johnson, thank so much 💞💞💞 This makes my day !! 😊🌻😊
Shirley thank you. Interesting and learnt lots. Look forward to learning more and your future videos
Hi Nyali, thank you for watching! Great to hear you are enjoying these videos and learning. Your kind words give me motivations to make more videos! Thanks again for your support! Making more videos is my new year resolution. And HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉✨
@@ChineseHerbalPantry you're welcome. I'm delighted, the motivation to keep sharing our passions and gifts is important so I get what it is when what we share is well received. I'll keep watching with interest. I'm a passionate biohacker so your posts are relevant. Another thought, I enjoy your descriptions. Your tone of voice, knowledge and how articulate you are makes listening a pleasure.
Hi Nyali, I really appreciate your kind words😘 I especially love how specific you are what you like about my videos. I will absolutely try my best to keep up with those good qualities you mentioned 😊 I love how your described yourself as biohacker! I know some people find Chinese medicine is hard to understand or is quite different way of thinking compared to most western principles. I am grateful you are keen on learning it!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry you're welcome. Happy giving specific feedback - otherwise there's not much point. Likewise, I appreciate your reflections. What you share is fascinating. I'm pro natural approaches when they do the job with minimal negative effects. Both oriental and western have effects, no such thing as a side effect - the term is a marketing ploy. Various of my friends use, study and practice Chinese modalities. I have great respect for these, they appear to be holistic when comparatively, western health practices can be limited in addressing the symptoms and not the whole person. This said, both have their place and I negate neither.
Learning empowering, interesting and useful info keeps my brain alive!
I'll be watching with pleasure. Will also recommend to a few friends to subscribe to your channel. The mutual support is how we will all thrive and succeed
@Nyali, thank you for your thoughtful comments here! I totally agreed on what you mean by both medicines have their places! Especially being someone like me who practises both. When I further my studies in Shanghai, the Chinese medicine doctors are fully trained in both medicines. They give Chinese herbs and they can do chemotherapy and can do operation, and everything else a western doctor can do. It was a fascinating experience for me to see how they truly integrate both medicines!
Plz can u do a video for people having joint pain back pain abdominal pain remedies plzzz
Hi @NM Make Up, I will see what I can do. However, please note that all my recipes here are only home remedies for mild symptoms and not for chronic problems. If anything chronic or more severe, best check with doctors first! Please take very good care and wishing you well and healthy!
Can you please clarify on cassia seed tea usage. Can I replace my everyday green tea with it that I drink about 10 cups a day? I want to improve my aging (54) eyesight. How long before I notice any improvements? Thank you and love your detailed videos.
HI @David, I think one cup a day is good but NOT 10 cups a day. Please note that, as I mentioned in my video, cassia seed is a mild laxative (a stimulant laxative) which I don't recommend to use daily unless is necessary. Goji and chrysanthemum would be more suitable. As for long before you notice improvement, it is hard to tell as everyone is different. One thing to note that, I guess it is also depends on what you expect from it. For a more scientific discussion, you can read the first point of this article www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322693#seven-scientifically-proven-benefits . The studies the article referred to is here journals.lww.com/optvissci/Abstract/2011/02000/Goji_Berry_Effects_on_Macular_Characteristics_and.12.aspx Hope this helps!
Is it possible to make this using cold brew?
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing
Hey Jenn, glad that you enjoyed it! 🧡 you guys should start a cooking show too !
Hi Shirley, thanks for the great video! During COVID-19 I’ve been working from home a lot which has resulted in staring at the screen for longer hours, so the tea is useful during these times. Is this a tea children can drink?
Hey Elaine! Sorry for late reply. Yeah, I know, it is a useful tea for this time! As for children, I won't recommend Cassia seeds as it maybe a bit strong for its 'laxative' action. Goji berries are ok for kids. As for Chrysanthemum flowers, if the child doesn't have any allergy to flowers, then it is ok. However, give when there are heat signs and not for long term regular use without specific reason for kids.
Great informative video!!
Thank you!
I'm going to go make some now!
Yum!! Since I decided to start this channel, I have been drinking it everyday because my eyes go crazy with long hours of filming and editing! Enjoy your herbal tea!
heloo shirley congratulations for your herbal pantry channel i have little discovered a mix of herbs very similar to tea for eye health but with the purpose of protecting the liver, in this tea: 1 cassia seeds, 2 goji berries, 3 chrysanthemun flowers, 4 lonicera japonica (madressilva), 5 burdock root (bardana root), 6 osmanthus fragans. would like to consult you if you are aware of this tea ? would like to know more about this traditional Chinese medicine tea! my gratitude thank you
Hi @Marcelo, I am so sorry for late reply! Have been very busy with my family in Malaysia. Thanks for your warm wishes for my channel
The reason why your herbs that are very similar to tea for eye health are labelled for purpose of protecting the liver is that eyes are connected to Chinese Medicine Liver according to Chinese Medicine theory. For example, the three herbs in my tea blend in this video are all can be beneficial to the Chinese Medicine Liver.
As for the tea you mentioned, the herbs are mostly to clear heat and MAY be beneficial to the Chinese Medicine Liver. However, I won't go into the details of each herb here. Please also check with the seller or your TCM practitioner if you are suitable for this tea and how long or how often you can take this tea, and if there are times that you can't take this. Please also note Chinese Medicine Liver is not exactly the same as the Western Medicine organ, Liver.
Hope the above helps! Take care and thanks again for watching my videos here! See you at my next video! 😊
warm regards,
Shirley
@@ChineseHerbalPantry ola shirley thank you for answering my question I'm a technician in pharmacy I love herbal medicine i carefully read your answer and realize that there is no simple answer to complicated questions i'm from Brazil we have a wide variety of medicinal plants but nothing compared to the diversity of traditional Chinese medicine would very much like to learn more on the topic with you thank you for sharing your knowledge
Hi @Marcelo, ola! How wonderful to know that you are also in pharmacy field. I have a few Brazilian friends and love Brazilians' energy and passion!
Thanks for taking care to read my reply. I hope it makes sense as sometimes Chinese Medicine theory is so different from Western medicine. Chinese Medicine is all about individualisation, unlike western medicine where the medicine is given more in a standardised manner. The way we look at health and healing is very different too.
If you have not signed up to my newsletters, would love you to to do so, as I share a lot via my newsletters too. My membership is coming up soon too, you can check out this video as I talked about what the membership is about. ua-cam.com/video/cD6_3x2PvZY/v-deo.html
I hope I can support your learning in a more personable environment in the membership. Nonetheless, I will see you here!
Take care and great to connect here!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry Hello shirley i'm already following your channel on instagram if you prefer we can exchange message via instagram ok, good to know that you know Brazil we have a great diversity of medicinal plants! here in my state we have besides the plants we have noteable products like the green propolis in capsules that and exported to countries like Japan used in the treatment of some diseases even in the treatment of some types of cancer! in Brazil flowers are not used very often ,I would like to ask you for help on some medicinal flowers used in Oriental medicine because I have no literature for consultation for example crysantemun flowers, lonicera caprifolium, dendrobium nobile yelow, osmanthus-fragans, you would have some site that can indicate me to search for information ! please help if you can ! i wait for your return soom tanks Shirley
Hello Shirley, I have a question about the goji berries. My acupuncturist said that young people shouldn't use too much because it can increase the libido a lot, so it's commonly used for older people? Is this correct?
Hi @lisaola, ummm...... maybe that is your acupuncturist's clinical experience but it is not mine. As in, while goji berry can nourish 'TCM Kidney' which may affect libido, but not 'too much' as it is still considered a milder herb. In addition to that, everyone reacts to herb very differently, And, no, goji berry is not only for older people. We use it very widely both in medicine and in our tea, meals, and soups, even young people. Just my opinion. Since you are seeing your acupuncturist, I recommend you to consult her or him and use goji berry under her/his supervision, and work with her/him to see if it is suitable for you. All the best and keep me posted how you go! As I am curious to know if goji really high libido A LOT in young people!
Evening.. Miss Shirley.. Thanks for the above video but I would also like to ask about Wang Qi.. I have been taking it as a tea together with dates.. But I saw in TV series in Taiwan or China its says it can led to bloated stomach.. Is it true and what causes the bloated stomach. Can you touch a video on this Wang qi.. Thanks
Hi @Loh Fong, I don't know what context those channels are talking about. So, I can't really answer that. Sometimes some people may experience bloating from Qi tonics which are not uncommon. If you experience that, please check with your Chinese Medicine Practitioner. Take care!
Hi Shirley, could you please teach how to make a Schisandra Chinensis tea? My TCM used to give me a pre-made packs of this tea and it really worked for me. Unfortunately, do not have access to this tea any more. I purchaced a dry berries and prepared a tea myself, but I am not sure if I prepared it correctly. Thanks!
HI @Diana, my apology for late reply. Just saw your comment. Schisandra Chinensis, in Chinese is called ‘Wu Wei Zi 五味子’. If your TCM doctor gave you a pre-made packs of the tea, I would guess there are more ingredients in there, instead of just Wu Wei Zi. Maybe best to ask your TCM doctor to share her/his tea blends with you. Even if I teach you how to make it, it would be the same with what your TCM doctor gave you as I don't know what other ingredients they put in there. Yet, thanks for the suggestion for topic for this channel, I will put it in the suggested video topics by the subscribers here. Hope you will find the recipe of the tea packs you used to use too! Take care!
Well this help so no longer need glasses?
Is it better to boil the goji berries or to brew them
@Hind, I would say it doesn't really matter. We use goji in both brewing tea and cooking soup. So, whatever suit you or you prefer!
Thanks Shirley, you're a natural. Can we buy these products from you?
Hey Leonie, thanks for coming by! I have indeed received quite a few request. Selling my own products is part of the plan but just didn't expect the request comes so soon. So, I am working frantically in setting up my own online store! Stay tuned and will keep you posted! Love!
Do you have a recipe for hearing?
mam i am confused should i drink this tea as it is hot or should i wait till i become cool? how should i consume it?
Hi Afnan, the 'hot' and 'cool' that I explained in the video is a concept we used to classify Chinese herbs. It is not about the temperature of the tea. So, you can drink when it is hot or cold. No problem at all.
I am sorry I didn't explain clear enough in the video. In Chinese Medicine, we classified Chinese herbs, even food ingredients, to groups based on their actions in our bodies. So, when I say one particular herb is 'warming' in nature, it means if we consume it, in a nutshell, it can warm our bodies up. If I say one particular herb is 'cooling' in nature, it means it may 'cool' our bodies. One simple example is watermelon. You can feel the 'cooling' sensation when you eat it. It is just a simple way to explain it,. Hope this helps.
Welcome to this channel and I hope I will make more videos to go deeper in Chinese medicine theories. Last but not least, enjoy the herbal tea!
Hi, how long does it takes to pan-fry the cassia seeds? Thanks 💝
Hi @Christina, there is no specific time as it depends on the amount you want to fry or the fire level you use (ideally low to medium only). One very important clue is to fry the cassia seeds till you hear gentle popping sounds of the seeds, then you can stop the frying the process. Hope this helps!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry thank you for the answer, will be making this soonnn 🥰🥰 please keep sharing new videos 🎉🎉🎉
@Christina , enjoy the tea! Thanks for your support of my channel. I will try my best to keep sharing more new videos! Hope you have subscribed and clicked the little bell, so you will receive notification when I post new videos. So, I will see you at my next video then 😊😊😊
💝
Hello Sherley. If I boil the tea, delivers more benefits or is better like you did it?
Hi @Connie, In this particular recipe, the cassia seeds and goji berries is better with boiling as you can extract more active ingredients through boiling. The particular chrysanthemum I use here is the baby chrysanthemum, hence using my method just brewing is good enough. So, if you want to be very specific, you can first boil the seeds and berries for about 10-15 minutes, and then add the chrysanthemum in the last 5 minutes. This will be the ideal way to make this tea 😊
Hi Shirley, do you have any book recommendations on Chinese tea/ herb combinations?
Hi @Kyle, interestingly you are the third person who asked me the same question this week!
Umm.... I don't know any book that specifically on Chinese herbal tea. Unfortunately, there aren't many English books out there specifically just on Chinese herbal tea. Most of my books are in Chinese. Having said that, I used this one very big thick book (Healing with Whole Food). It has everything in there (Chinese medicine and western nutrition). It is like my reference book in English
amzn.to/38RLkhc
However, I feel it is too much for beginner.
Also, I will be launching my online course in Apr or May. I will teach the basics of Chinese medicine, Chinese herbs and has one module for Chinese herbal tea, one for herbal dishes and one for herbal soup! Please sign up for my email if you like to be informed with updates 😄 Following is the link
chineseherbalpantry.com/online-courses/
Oh yes, while I was there in Amazon searching the book for you, Amazon suggested a few other books. I don't have them but they seem interesting, you can check them out too.
Hope the above help!
cheers
Shirley
Is that have to clean the three items
@Uma , you can give them a quick raise under the water to get rid of any dirt and dust.
Hi Shirley, nice video. Can I know when will be the best time on a day to take herbal tea?
HI Harris, thank you for your support! As for best time to drink herbal tea, it doesn't really matter. They are not caffeinated, so you can take anytime.
Hi Shirley, thanks for the info! Since it is a cooling tea, would it be suitable during the cold winter months? I am asking since eye strain could happen, irrelevant of the season.
Hi @Rita, yes you can drink this during winter as long as your body nature is not very 'cold'. While eyestrain is common but this tea is not something we drink everyday without listening to our body. You need to learn how to listen to your body and how you response to this tea. I do teach this in my course too as everyone is different, so when we learn how to watch out for certain signs or symptoms or responses, then we will know if particular herbs suit us at a particular time.
Also, during winter, if you have watched my 'Winter Wellness' video, we have a tendency to eat too much of 'warm' food which is natural. So, some times it is good to add a very small amount of 'cooling' herbs when our body start to feel 'too warm' due to too much of 'warm' food. There is no 'one rule' to everyone in Chinese medicine as we appreciate everyone is vastly different and our environment changes too.
Hope the above helps! 💕
@@ChineseHerbalPantry Many thanks for your reply 🙏
For how long would these herbs sustain in the jar?
HI @Nikhail, ummm..... it is hard to say exactly as it depends on the quality of the herbs, and if you store your herbs properly, also depends on the weather condition where you live. Sometimes the packs will have expiry dates or please check with the herbal suppliers. As for storage, please check out this video ua-cam.com/video/5vl4Rfe0X24/v-deo.html . I share tips on how to store herbs properly, so to ensure the quality, potency and shelf life of the herbs. Hope this helps!
Hi Shirley,
Can I use fresh goji berries? I have lots in my garden.
@Elaine , yeah of course you can use the fresh goji berries! Wow! I didn't know goji is so easy to grow. You are amazing!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry yes it's easy to grow. This year due to drought the berries were all dried on the stalks
It's very sweet with a slight bitter after taste. I freeze them n use it in my smoothies.
@Elaine, oh wow! Do you just grow it from the berries? Or are there special seeds for it?
@@ChineseHerbalPantry no u need to grow from cuttings. I brought back 3 cuttings from my sister's garden in Vancouver in 2018. Just plant it in soul n it flourish. It's winter hard so in late spring it will flower again n turn to berries.
@Elaine, so interesting! Thanks for sharing the tips ☺️
Hi Shirley! Thank you for sharing. Question : How often can we drink this in a day?
Hi AlongDeeya, I think you just make one cup and you can re-brew the same herbs 2-3 times in the same day. Moderation is always the safer approach. Remember as I mentioned in the video, Cassia Seeds have mild laxative effect. So if your stools are generally on the loose side or start to have loose stools , please don't add cassia seeds. Hope the above helps!
Hi ma i just subcribed to yor channel, please ma can this help with thyriod eye dieaese? Looking for herbal medicine or eye drops or tea to help with my eye diease please reply thank u
HI @Halima, thank you for subscribing to my channel. This recipe is only for very general eye health. It is not for thyroid eye disease. Please consult your doctor for proper care. Please take very good care and get well soon!
Just a quick question is Chrysanthemum same thing as the White Chrysanthemum?
Such a great question Yasmeen! They are similar in actions, yet similar different in terms of their efficacy in different functions if you want to be very specific about it. Yellow chrysanthemum is more for clearing heat and disperse wind (疏散风热). White chrysanthemum is more for 'pacify Liver Yang, clearing the Liver and slightly better for eye health'. Having said that, white chrysanthemum is not too easy to find. And yellow chrysanthemum also has the similar functions, so I am not fussed! Hope the above helps!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry aww thank you so much🙏🙏🙏 for taking your precious time to reply me back. Thanks that's awesome 👍👌
@@yasmeensam8055 My pleasure Yasmeen. Glad to be able to help 😊
Could this tea also help lower cholesterol?
Hi @Keila, curious why you asked this question. Have you seen any articles suggest this tea may lower cholesterol? I did a quick search, there are not many clinical trials for the ingredients in this tea that suggest any of them have cholesterol-lowering effect. There are a couple of small trials out there but they are not enough to prove this function. Being a pharmacist myself, I want to give unbiased view that are also based on science. High cholesterol without proper management may have severe consequences, so please speak with your family doctor for proper management. And of course, I can't stress enough about preventative measures, such as dietary modification, exercise and more. Take care!
I have read a few things that mention cassia seeds and chrysanthemum flowers effects on cholesterol. But of course I don't mean that it will cure it alone. I assume this would be in conjunction with a healthy diet.
@Keila, yeah there are a few clinical trials floating out there. Some of the sample sizes are small, and some are on rats. So they are not conclusive and need more investigation. Yeah, absolutely, please do it with a healthy diet, exercise etc. You can incorporate this tea as part of your tea-drinking habit, and see how things go. But beware of the laxative effect of cassia seeds, and both ingredients are cooling. And yes, do not solely rely on it. Sometimes when questions come in such as this, I just don't want to mislead or don't give the full picture. Please also check your cholesterol yearly to ensure it is at a healthy level. Take care!
Cassia seed,gd 4 de eye?
Yes it is according to traditional uses. Don't think it has been proven by modern science yet though. Also, please avoid it if you are pregnant or must be monitored by your qualified Chinese Medicine.
So nice drink!cn ad red date?
Hi @Evelyn, I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean if you can add red dates in this drink? Yes, if you want to. Red date is to tonify Qi and calming 'Shen' (spirit) but it is warming in nature. So, it depends why you want to add red dates in this herbal blend. Hope this helps!
Do you have a tea for red dry eye syndrome?
HI Anna, you can give this herbal tea a try. It depends how severe your condition is though. If it is severe, you still need your artificial eye drops and any other eye drops or medicine prescribed by your doctor. Take care!
hi
Cassia seed in chinese is what?
I am afriad that the chinese medical shop might not know in english cassia seeds.
Hi @Nancy, it is called Jue Ming Zi (决明子). Usually I put the Chinese names in the description box. Hope that helps 😊
can you tell me pls chinese use sarsaparilla root
Hi @Padmapriya, I think the sarsaparilla root you referred too is not necessary a Chinese herb. Sarsaparilla root is native Mexico and Central America. So, I am not use how Chinese use sarsaparilla root, and it is something I am not familiar too. Having said that, there is Chinese herb which is another genus of the same family of sarsaparilla root. However, they are not exactly the same and I won't go into it here. Hope this helps!

ok thank you
@@ChineseHerbalPantry pls share burdock pickel recipe
My pleasure @Padmapriya . I read more about the sarsaparilla root. Its botanical name is Smilax Ornata and the Chinese version is Smilax China or Rhizoma Smilacis Chinensis. So as you can see, they shared the same genus (Smilax) but different species.
When I compared the functions we use them for, there are some similarities. It is interesting how different cultures use their local herbs for similar uses. I found this article that listed the Chinese version under the same article (it is called Ba Qia). You can find the article here www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/sarsaparilla
Although this article doesn't talk about the Chinese version particularly, I think it is a good general and balanced view of sarsaparilla.
Having said that, if you want to use Ba Qia for whatever reason, please always check with your local qualified Chinese Medicine practitioner.
Take care and thanks for watching! See you in my next video!

Thank you for your valuable feedback
Hi! All all chrysanthemum edible / tea?
Hi @Veronica, ummm...... there are many different types of chrysanthemum flowers but I can't guarantee all are edible. This is because chrysanthemum flowers are quite common in many countries. So, I would recommend you only source your chrysanthemum from herbal suppliers, at least you know they are edible!
@@ChineseHerbalPantry okay thank you!
@Veronica, my pleasure 😊
Please give the name of all ingredients in English
Hi Khushnuda, ummmm..... I don't understand your question. I have given the names of ingredients in English - Chrysanthemum flowers, Cassia Seeds and Goji berries. Or the other English name of goji berries is 'wolfberries' . Hope the above help. Please let me know if you need more information.
