AG-C
How it Works
Nature’s Sunshine’s Chinese herbal combinations are based on 5000 years of Chinese herbal tradition. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which includes the use of herbal medicine, continues to provide primary healthcare throughout Asia even in these modern times. Did you know? AG-C is considered an earth formula. The earth element in TCM philosophy is related to the digestion, the stomach and spleen. The therapeutic principle for relieving the excess earth element is called xiao dao, which can be translated to mean “clear the congestion.” According to TCM, earth people are nurturing, sympathetic, helpful and caring. They are also prone to worry, stress and burnout as they tend to take on too much.
