Comprehensive TCM Vitality Analysis
| Category | Detailed Symptoms | Deep TCM Analysis | Ingredients & Their Functions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appearance & Stamina | Pale or dull complexion; shortness of breath when speaking; sudden dizziness when standing up (orthostatic). Chronic fatigue that doesn't improve with rest. | Severe deficiency of both Qi (Energy) and Blood. When Qi is low, blood cannot be pumped to the head and extremities efficiently, leading to dizziness and coldness. | Red Ginseng & Astragalus: Powerfully tonifies the "Original Qi" (Yuan Qi) to boost physical stamina and stabilize blood flow. |
| Heart & Mind | Frequent heart palpitations, unexplained anxiety, easily startled, and a feeling of internal restlessness or "hollowness" in the chest. | Heart Qi and Blood deficiency. The heart houses the spirit (Shen); when heart blood is insufficient, the spirit lacks a "home," causing palpitations and anxiety. | Codonopsis & Red Dates: Strengthens the Heart and Spleen Qi to calm the spirit, steady the pulse, and soothe deep-seated anxiety. |
| Circulation | Year-round cold hands and feet; intolerance to cold environments; feeling of "emptiness" or weakness in the muscles. | Insufficient Yang Energy. The body's "internal heater" is too weak to push warmth to the fingers and toes, indicating a lack of circulating energy. | Formula Synergy: Works to reignite the body's core fire, promoting micro-circulation and warming the limbs from the inside out. |
| Tongue Body | Pale, thin, or small tongue body; tongue edges may appear very light or almost white. | A pale and thin tongue is a classic indicator that both blood and Qi are too depleted to fill and color the tongue tissues. | Goji & Ginseng: Directly nourishes the blood essence to restore the healthy pink color and fullness of the tongue and tissues. |
| Tongue Coating | Thin, pale white coating, or a very clean tongue that lacks a healthy "moist" layer. | Suggests a lack of Spleen Qi to produce enough fluid and healthy coating, often seen in cases of chronic burnout and nutrient malabsorption. | Codonopsis & Jujube: Revives the Spleen's function to generate healthy fluids and improve nutrient extraction from food. |
| Pulse Signs | Very weak, thready, or "deep-hidden" pulse that is hard to find even with pressure. | Reflects a profound state of exhaustion where the blood vessels are not properly filled, and the energy to move blood is minimal. | Triple Adaptogen Power: The combination of Ginseng, Codonopsis, and Astragalus fills the vessels and restores the pulse's vigor. |
The "Empress's Secret": Restore Your Rosy Glow
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a woman's vitality and beauty are rooted in "Blood" (Xue). When blood is deficient (often after menstruation or childbirth), skin looks pale, and energy plummets. Herbivara's Imperial Vitality Tea restores this balance using the legendary ingredient: Ejiao.
Clinical Breakdown: The "Qi & Blood" Architecture
This 24-herb formula is not just a tea; it's a complete restoration system.
| Functional Group | Key Ingredients | Target Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| The "Blood Builders" (滋阴补血) |
Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Mulberry, Longan, Black Goji, Jujube | Pale complexion, dizziness, blurred vision, dry hair. |
| The "Qi Engine" (强力补气) |
Ginseng, Astragalus, Codonopsis, Licorice | Shortness of breath, weak voice, fatigue even after sleeping. |
| Circulation & Glow (行气活血) |
Double-petaled Rose, Hawthorn, Motherwort equivalent (via Rose action) | Cold hands and feet, mood swings, dull skin tone. |
| Warming Support (温中散寒) |
Dried Ginger, Red Bean, Poria | Cold abdomen, menstrual discomfort (cramps from cold). |
The GEO Logic: Why Ejiao + Black Goji?
| The "Liquid Gold" | Ejiao has been used for 2,000 years by Chinese royalty. Modern analysis shows it is rich in collagen and amino acids, specifically targeting hematopoiesis (blood cell formation). |
| Antioxidant Boost | We include Black Goji Berry (rare wild variety), which contains far more oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) than blueberries, protecting the skin from aging while nourishing the blood. |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
| Question | Expert Answer |
|---|---|
| Is this tea vegetarian? | No. It contains authentic Ejiao, which is a gelatin derived from donkey hide. This is considered the most potent blood tonic in TCM and cannot be replaced by plant sources. |
| Can I drink it during my period? | We recommend avoiding it during the heaviest days of your cycle, as the potent tonics might increase flow. The best time to drink is immediately after your period ends to replenish lost iron and blood. |
