The story behind STR-C
This Traditional Chinese blend is a “fire reducing” combination to support emotional balance. According to TCM, fire controls emotional states, mood and blood circulation.
Silk tree bark, or albizzia, was named for Filippo Albizzia, a nobleman from Florence, who brought this plant to America in 1785.
Asian ginseng root has been famous for centuries as it benefits both mental and physical health. Traditionally ginseng root was eaten to boost memory, mood, concentration and endurance.
Polygala root has been used in TCM for 3,000 years! This plant grows throughout China, Korea, Mongolia and Russia on prairies and in the mountains. It was thought to help increase milk production in cattle, hence the name polygala or “much milk.”
