Asparagus Ophiopogon Winter's Paradise

Nourish Your Body's Inner Oasis

In the philosophy of traditional herbalism, a healthy body is a balanced one—a harmony of 'Yin' (cool, moist, calm) and 'Yang' (hot, active, fiery). The pressures of modern life—stress, dry indoor environments, overstimulation—can deplete our precious Yin reserves, leaving us feeling dried-out and burned-out.

Winter's Paradise is a masterful recreation of 'Sheng Mai San', a classical formula revered for centuries for its profound ability to replenish Yin. It's a deeply hydrating tonic for your very tissues.

The Symphony of Moisture

This isn't just a collection of herbs; it's a synergistic team where each player has a crucial role:

• Asparagus & Ophiopogon Roots: These are the heroes of hydration, prized for their ability to nourish the deep moisture of the lungs and stomach.
• Schisandra Berry: The 'five-flavor fruit' is a unique adaptogen that helps the body hold onto this precious moisture, preventing it from being wasted.
• Licorice Root: The great harmonizer, ensuring all herbs work together smoothly and directing them where they are needed most.

When your internal environment feels like a dry desert, Winter's Paradise helps you find your cool, comfortable, and thriving paradise within.*

Questions & Answers

Your most common questions, answered.

Q: Will this make me feel cold?
A: No. When we say "cooling," we are referring to the herbal property of helping to balance excess 'heat' in the body, often associated with feelings of stress, irritability, and dryness. It's about bringing the body back to a comfortable, balanced state, not making you feel cold.*

Q: Is this only for use in the winter?
A: Not at all! It was traditionally prized in winter due to dry air, but its benefits are valuable year-round. It's excellent for hot summer months, dry climates, air travel, or anytime you feel depleted and 'dried out.' The name refers to creating a personal "paradise" from a state of dryness.*

Q: I drink plenty of water but still feel dehydrated. Can this help?
A: This is one of the primary reasons people use Yin tonics. Sometimes, the issue isn't a lack of water intake, but the body's ability to properly absorb and retain that moisture in the tissues. The herbs in this formula, especially Schisandra, are traditionally used to support the body's ability to 'hold onto' hydration, making the water you drink more effective.*
