Sun Ten Chai Hu Gui Zhi Tang | Bupleurum & Cinnamon Combination Granules | 柴胡桂枝湯 / Default Title

Bupleurum and cinnamon, combined. The name isn't messing around.

This is Sun Ten's granule version of Chai Hu Gui Zhi Tang, a traditional Chinese herbal combination that's been mixed this exact way for a very long time, long enough that nobody felt the need to rename it something catchier. Bupleurum root and cinnamon twig, working alongside a supporting cast of classic herbs, brought together in a granule form so you don't have to simmer a pot of anything on your stove at 6am. You just add hot water. That's the whole ritual. It's less "ancient apothecary" and more "instant tea with a résumé."

What's Actually Going On Here

Traditional formulas like this one were built to work with the body as a whole system, not just one symptom in isolation, which is a nice way of saying the ingredient list is doing several jobs at once. This combination is traditionally used to support healthy immune function, promote a calm and settled mood, and support digestive comfort during times when your body's routine feels a little off its normal rhythm. It also supports the body's healthy response to everyday physical stress and helps maintain comfortable muscle function. None of that is a promise to fix anything that's broken. It's a formula that supports normal, healthy function, the same way a good night's sleep does, just in granule form and slightly less free.

The Granule Situation

Granules are basically the herb equivalent of instant coffee, except nobody's ever bragged about their granule tolerance at a party. Sun Ten extracts and concentrates the formula, then dries it down into these small, stable granules so the potency doesn't wander off while it's sitting in your cabinet. You get consistency batch to batch, which matters a lot when you're dealing with a multi herb formula and not just, say, one vitamin doing one thing.

• Supports healthy immune system function
• Promotes a calm, relaxed mood during daily stress
• Supports digestive comfort and healthy digestive rhythm
• Supports the body's healthy response to physical and everyday stress
• Contributes to overall wellness as part of a balanced daily routine

How People Actually Use It

Dissolve the granules in warm water and drink it like tea, because that is, structurally speaking, what it is now. Some people take it on a schedule, some people take it when their body feels like it needs a little extra support, and either approach is fine as long as you're using it as part of a generally healthy lifestyle and not as a substitute for one. This formula has been part of traditional herbal practice for a long time. Sun Ten just made it so you don't need a mortar and pestle to participate in that tradition.
