Luo han guo, which translates as fruit of the enlightened, is commonly known as monk fruit. It is becoming popular as a sweetener lately! Its easy to see why as it is low glycemic, low calorie, sweeter than cane sugar, and beneficial to the lungs. Though only finding its way to Western attention recently, it has been used by the Chinese since the 13th century. To the Chinese materia medica, its actually rather new! This is because the plant is notoriously difficult to culti...vate. Germinating the seed may take several months and the fruit spoils quickly if not dried. Now, it is readily available and cost less than $1 per fruit. Just one monk fruit can sweeten one gallon of liquid. Benefits include 1. Moistening the lungs and stopping cough, 2. Replenishing fluids, especially due to summer heat 3. Resolving constipation due dryness. Try this fruit in your favorite beverages for a healthful and delicious way to replace sugar!

It may look like incense but moxa sticks are very different. Made from the herb, Ai Ye, this herb is sometimes referred to as pure yang energy. Ai Ye is used in therapy known as moxibustion. It is amazing for treating women’s health issues, digestion problems, and musculoskeletal issues. Remember to use in a well-ventilated room, as excessive smoke is harmful. We offer the traditional form as well as a non-smoking form. Please ask if you would like more information, we are here to help!

Ginseng it out loud! If there is one herb that has reached mainstream appeal, it is the powerful qi tonic, ginseng. Here, we have 3 grades of cultivated ginseng. Price range from top to bottom: $65/lb, $138/lb, $168/lb. Price, quality, and value varies widely. Things get even more muddled when wild ginseng is included! (The podcast planet money has a very good episode, root of the problem, about this)... The ginseng found in your energy drink is likely low quality. One dilemma of mainstream appeal is that ginseng is often used inappropriately because of incomplete knowledge. Yes, ginseng is powerful. It is said to revive qi. But it must be used in the correct conditions. You wouldnt use a buzzsaw when a scalpel is needed. The same applies for all herbs. Come visit Lin Sister to learn if ginseng is right for you!
