Herbal Paste (Gao Fang) In-take Treatment
Gao Fang is a paste-like TCM medication prescribed to nourish one's body and health. It is a health product that combines therapeutic effects with nourishing benefits. Although the preparation process is complex, taking our products as an example, the ingredients must be washed and soaked for no less than 8 hours, then combined with precious medicinal materials such as Ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin) and Lujiaojiao (deer-antler gelatin), as well as natural excipients like yellow wine and honey to enhance palatability. After prolonged simmering to evaporate moisture, the active components are fully preserved.
Every 10 ml of herbal paste is equivalent to a concentrated essence extracted from over 100 ml of decoction. Therefore, compared with traditional herbal decoctions, the notable advantages of Gao Fang are:
Three Key Advantages
Convenient to Take
Can be taken directly by the spoonful at any time, or dissolved in warm water for consumption.
Smaller Dosage
Only 10–15 ml per dose, unlike the 100–200 ml required for herbal decoctions.
Pleasant Taste
Encourages consistent use and is especially suitable for children and the elderly.
Special Prescriptions by National Renowned TCM Practitioner to Address Three Common Symptoms
Dr. He Nianshan, Head of the Chinese Medicine Department, draws on over 40 years of experience in syndrome differentiation. Based on ancient formulas and adapted to the climate of the Guangdong region, he applies the "harmonizing method" to balance yin-yang, qi-blood, and cold-heat patterns. Targeting three major complaints among the general public, hair loss, insomnia, and sallow complexion, he has formulated three balanced herbal paste products suitable for widespread use:
Blood-Nourishing and Kidney-Tonifying Hair Growth Paste
Effective for hair loss caused by kidney deficiency and blood deficiency.
Heart-Calming and Spirit-Soothing Paste
Designed specifically for those with insomnia. Dr. He Nianshan modified the classic ancient formula "Huanglian Ejiao Jizihuang Decoction" by adding other medicinal ingredients to enhance sedative and heart-nourishing effects.
Peach Blossom Complexion Paste
Targeted at young women and menopausal women, focusing on nourishing blood, strengthening the spleen, and promoting blood circulation to improve complexion and restore a natural, healthy glow.
"One Person, One Formula" – Custom-Made Preparations
For individuals with specific health concerns, such as those with chronic diseases, frail constitutions, postpartum women, or patients recovering from tumor radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the Chinese Medicine Department also offers a personalized herbal paste preparation service. Based on diagnostic assessment, the physician will prescribe a tailored paste that not only nourishes the body but is also suitable for long-term use, while supporting stomach health, blood nourishment, qi supplementation, and sleep promotion.
Precautions
- One jar of herbal paste generally provides about two weeks' supply, taken once or twice daily, before or after meals as preferred.
- Due to concentration and the addition of honey as a natural preservative, storage is relatively straightforward. However, after opening, the lid must be tightly sealed and the paste stored in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping compartment, to be consumed within one month.
- If you are experiencing acute inflammation such as colds, fever, sore throat, or excessive phlegm, temporarily discontinue use and resume after recovery.
