Chinese Herbs Never Looked So Good.
By Emma Suttie, D.Ac, AP
Yes, I said Chinese herbs. Yes!
I have been taking the superfood tonic Ancient Wisdom for many months now and am amazed at how it makes me feel. I am also impressed by its beautiful packaging (it really is gorgeous), and the company's modern approach. The other thing that is still amazing to me is that this is really the new face of Chinese herbs.
As a kid I was used to coming home from the acupuncturists' with many tidy paper packages filled with raw herbs to be cooked up and consumed to help me heal and keep me healthy. Every time I was sure I was going to throw up as the taste (and smell) was so bad I thought I wasn't going to be able to get it down. But, every time, I did get it down, there was no throwing up, and I felt almost instantly the effects of these powerful plants and organic bits.
Now, the herbs I take come in a beautiful glass jar with a polite scoop and can be made into delicious recipes that look like this. Can I get a hallelujah? This makes me happy from the inside out. They have really come a long way.
There are certainly still times that I like to kick it old school and cook up some herbs for something specific that is going on, but for my hectic life, a scoop of this in my smoothie or a tonic bar or two in my lunch makes a big difference.
Here is the recipe for these delicious tonic bars if you would like to try to make them. I swear its Chinese herbs. For real. :)
