Top®

In TCM, tonification refers to a therapeutic treatment that nourishes and replenishes the Qi, blood, and yin and yang when they are weak or deficient. Qi can be interpreted as the "life energy" or "life force," which flows within us. Qi deficiency manifests as under-functioning of the entire body or certain organs, especially in the respiratory and digestive systems.

From a Western perspective, it can be helpful to think of “heat” as inflammation. Inflammation is usually helpful and part of the healing process, but when it gets over a healthy threshold, it becomes a problem and is viewed as “heat.” As in nature, heat causes expansion and in­creased activity, and this imbalance caused by too much heat can lead to irritability, fever, and inflammatory conditions. According to TCM, certain herbs can work in combination to clear the heat, support toxin removal, and restore balance to the body. Top® is made with wild mint, Chuan Xiong, Jin Yin Hua, and other targeted herbal ingredients that have been used in TCM to help clear heat, disperse wind-heat and expel wind.
