Indigenous and traditional sciences share an intimate relationship with herbal medicine — one that extends far beyond chemistry.
Taxonomists, herbalists, healers, and medicine women and men understand medicinal plants not only through their measurable compounds, but also through the subtle energetics they carry. These plants support our wellbeing in ways often overlooked by the modern industrialized medical industry.
原住民和傳統科學與草藥醫學之間，有着極為親密的關係，而這種聯繫遠遠超越化學層面。分類學家、草藥師、療癒者及傳統醫者（不論男女）對藥用植物的理解，不僅於其可量化的化學成分，亦涵蓋植物所蘊含的微妙能量。可惜現代工業化醫療體系常忽略草本藥物或傳統藥材支持我們身心靈健康的全面效用。
Each herbal ingredient holds its own medicinal properties, actions, temperature, and energetic patterns. For example, in general herbalism and naturopathic medicine, St. John’s Wort is widely recognized as an antidepressant for its ability to raise serotonin levels. However, in pharmacognosy — the pharmacological study of natural substances and their interactions — St. John’s Wort may also decrease serum drug levels by inducing P-glycoprotein in the small intestine and can deplete vitamin D in the body.¹
每一種草藥成分都有其獨特的藥性、作用、性味與能量模式。以聖約翰草（St. John’s Wort）為例，在一般草藥學與自然療法中，它因能提升血清素水平而廣為人知，被視為天然抗抑鬱藥。然而，在生藥學（即研究天然物質及其藥理互動的學科）中，聖約翰草亦可能因誘導小腸內的P-糖蛋白而降低血清藥物濃度，並可能導致體內維他命D消耗。¹
Indigenous and traditional herbal principles, however, see no concept of “anti-.” There is no good or evil in medicine. Healing is not about suppression, but about restoring harmony between mind, body, and spirit. St. John’s Wort is understood as a warming nervine with carminative, diaphoretic, and circulating actions. These qualities help reduce coldness and stagnation, bringing warmth and brightness to those whose moods have become heavy or still.
然而，在原住民與傳統草藥的原則中，並不存在「抗-」的概念。醫藥中沒有善惡之分；療癒並非壓制，而是恢復身、心、靈之間的和諧。聖約翰草被視為一種溫性安神草，具有行氣、發汗與促進循環的作用。這些特質有助驅散寒滯，為情緒沉重或停滯的人帶來溫暖與光亮。
No single herbal medicine carries just one active compound — each plant works as a symphony of constituents, harmonizing to bring balance. Nature, too, never provides only one answer: many herbs share overlapping phytochemical components, reflecting availability, geography, and cultural adaptation.
沒有任何一種草藥只含有單一活性成分，每一株植物都像是一場「成分交響樂」，彼此協調以恢復平衡。自然界亦從不給予單一答案；許多草藥擁有重疊的植物化學組成，反映出其生長環境、地理分布與文化適應性。
Our Emotion Rebalancing Herbal Tonics are designed with this same philosophy — simple, accessible, and attuned to what our bodies and spirits need most.
我們的「情緒平衡草本飲」亦秉承相同理念——簡單、易取，並貼近身心靈最真實的需要。
Note: As with all herbal preparations, those currently taking medication should consult a qualified healthcare or herbal practitioner before use.

Chronic sadness and constant “go-go-go” living deplete our vital essence (Jing, 精). Recovery requires more than rest — it calls for gentler rhythms, nourishment, and connection. To restore essence means tending to lifestyle, mindset, and nutrition, as well as accepting help from community and nature’s quiet medicines.
長期的悲傷與不斷「忙碌」的生活方式會消耗我們的生命精華（Jing，精），恢復不僅需要休息，還需要更溫和的節奏、滋養與連結。
重建精氣意味著關照生活方式、心態與營養，同時也要學會接受社群與自然的靜謐療癒之助。
In traditional and Indigenous systems, emotion and vitality move as one — neither separate nor opposed. When we sip these tonics, we’re not fighting illness; we’re listening.
在傳統與原住民療癒系統中，情緒與生命力是一體流動的，並非分離或對立。當我們啜飲這些補養飲時，我們不是在對抗病症，而是在傾聽。
Each infusion becomes a dialogue between the body’s chemistry and the earth’s consciousness — a reminder that balance, not resistance, is the true medicine.
每一次浸泡都是身體化學與大地意識之間的對話——提醒我們，真正的療癒來自平衡，而非抗拒。
