Sun Ten Xiang Ru | Elsholtzia | 香薷 | Prima Nova / Default Title

Xiang Ru: an herb that still answers to its Chinese name first

Xiang Ru, also known as Elsholtzia, has been part of traditional herbal practice for a long, long time. Long enough that it never bothered getting an English nickname. Sun Ten's Prima Nova version takes that same herb and turns it into a concentrated granule, which is a fancy way of saying they did the boiling for you. You just add water. It's the herbal equivalent of instant coffee, except nobody's pretending it's fancy espresso.

This is a traditional formula, and it shows up in classic herbal wellness routines, particularly the kind of stuff people reach for when the weather gets hot and heavy and the body feels like it's working overtime just standing still. Elsholtzia has long been used to support the body's normal response to warm, humid conditions, and to support digestive comfort when things feel a little off after a big meal or a long summer day. Nobody's claiming it fixes anything broken. It just supports what your body is already trying to do, which, respectfully, is a lot.

What Xiang Ru Prima Nova Supports

• Supports digestive comfort, especially after heavy or greasy meals
• Supports the body's normal response to heat and humidity
• Supports respiratory comfort during seasonal shifts
• Supports healthy fluid balance as part of a normal wellness routine

The Prima Nova line is Sun Ten's concentrated granule format, which means the herb has already been extracted and dried down into something you can actually measure and mix without owning a mortar and pestle. It dissolves in warm water. That's the whole ritual. No steeping for forty minutes while you stare at a pot wondering if you're doing folk medicine correctly.

Sun Ten has been making traditional Chinese herbal extracts for decades, using standardized manufacturing so the granules in this bag are consistent with the ones in the last bag, and the bag before that. Consistency matters more than people think. An herb that works differently every time isn't a supplement, it's a mood.

Xiang Ru fits into a daily or seasonal wellness routine for people who already have a relationship with traditional Chinese herbal practice, or people who are just getting started and want a formula with a long track record instead of a new one with a logo. Either way, it's a straightforward product. One herb, one job, done the way it's been done for a very long time.
