What Is Eye Support (G) Supplement?
Eye Support (G) Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy vision, eye comfort, healthy eye pressure, circulation to the eyes, fluid balance, and long-term eye wellness. It is commonly chosen by individuals seeking traditional support for very red eyes, floaters, blurred or cloudy vision, light sensitivity, excessive tearing, eye pressure, and glaucoma-related eye wellness concerns.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy vision depends on adequate nourishment from the Liver, Kidney, Qi, and Blood, together with the smooth circulation of Qi and Blood to the eyes. The Liver traditionally opens into the eyes, while Kidney Yin and body fluids help nourish the eyes and maintain comfortable visual function.
Excess Heat, Blood Stasis, impaired circulation, or insufficient Kidney Yin may contribute to redness, burning sensations, excessive tearing, eye pressure, floaters, blurred vision, or sensitivity to bright light. Eye Support (G) contains carefully selected herbs traditionally used to clear excess Heat, promote healthy Blood circulation, nourish Yin, support fluid regulation, and maintain visual comfort and internal balance.*

Common Signs You May Need Eye Support (G) Supplement
This formula is most appropriate for Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns involving excess internal Heat, Blood Stasis, impaired circulation, disrupted fluid balance, or insufficient nourishment reaching the eyes. Different individuals may experience symptoms such as:
Very Red, Bloodshot, or Irritated Eyes
The eyes may appear persistently red, bloodshot, burning, or irritated. These symptoms may become more noticeable after prolonged screen use, reading, environmental exposure, or periods of internal Heat.
Eye Floaters Affecting Visual Comfort
Small floating spots, specks, threads, cobweb-like shapes, or shadows may drift across the field of vision. TCM may associate this pattern with reduced nourishment, Blood Stasis, or impaired circulation affecting the eyes.
Blurred, Cloudy, or Dim Vision
Vision may appear less clear than usual, with occasional blurring, cloudiness, dimness, or reduced visual sharpness. Fine details may become more difficult to see or focus on.
Sensitivity to Bright Light or Sunlight
Sunlight, headlights, computer screens, or strong indoor lighting may feel uncomfortable. Individuals may squint frequently or have difficulty adjusting between bright and dim environments.
Eye Pressure, Fullness, or Discomfort
The eyes may feel full, pressured, sore, heavy, or uncomfortable. These sensations may become more noticeable after prolonged visual activity or during periods of internal imbalance.
Excessive Tearing or Watery Eyes
Frequent tearing or watery eyes may occur without an emotional cause. TCM may associate this pattern with excess Heat, Wind, disrupted fluid regulation, or insufficient nourishment.
Dry, Tired, or Screen-Strained Eyes
Reading, driving, computer work, or extended use of mobile devices may leave the eyes feeling dry, irritated, tired, strained, or temporarily less clear.
Age-Related Changes in Visual Comfort
Gradual changes in eye comfort, focusing ability, moisture, or visual clarity may become more noticeable with age. TCM emphasizes circulation and Liver and Kidney nourishment when supporting healthy eye aging.
General Eye Weakness or Reduced Visual Vitality
Some individuals may notice that their eyes tire more easily, feel less comfortable throughout the day, or require additional nourishment to maintain healthy visual function.
Individuals with persistent or long-standing patterns affecting eye health may benefit from combining this formula with additional herbal support selected according to the underlying TCM pattern to promote healthy circulation, nourishment, fluid balance, visual comfort, and long-term eye wellness.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Vision
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy vision depends on adequate Liver Blood and Kidney Yin, the smooth circulation of Qi and Blood to the eyes, balanced body fluids, and the body’s ability to clear excess internal Heat. Poor sleep, prolonged screen use, emotional stress, inadequate nutrition, and excessive Heat-producing foods may contribute to eye redness, dryness, tearing, light sensitivity, and reduced visual comfort.
Daily Habits to Support Healthy Vision
For best results while using Eye Support (G):
- Eat balanced, appropriately portioned meals at consistent times.
- Choose warm, freshly prepared, easily digested foods whenever possible.
- Drink warm or room-temperature water regularly throughout the day.
- Get adequate rest and maintain a consistent sleep schedule.
- Take regular breaks from computers, phones, tablets, and other digital screens.
- Use the 20-20-20 rule during prolonged screen use: every 20 minutes, look approximately 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Wear appropriate UV-protective sunglasses outdoors to reduce excessive sunlight and glare.
- Stay physically active with walking, stretching, Tai Chi, Qigong, or other regular movement.
- Manage stress through meditation, deep breathing, relaxation, or other calming practices.
- Avoid rubbing or repeatedly touching red, irritated, or uncomfortable eyes.
Foods & Habits to Limit
Individuals experiencing excess Heat, eye redness, irritation, pressure, or light sensitivity may benefit from limiting:
- Excessively spicy, pungent, or heavily seasoned foods
- Greasy, oily, or deep-fried foods
- Highly processed foods and snacks
- Excess sugar, sweets, and sugary beverages
- Excessive alcohol and caffeine
- Smoking and tobacco products
- Prolonged screen time without regular breaks
- Reading or using digital devices in poor lighting
- Staying up late and chronic sleep deprivation
- Frequent late-night meals
- Repeated exposure to smoke, dust, dry air, or strong glare when these aggravate eye discomfort
Foods Traditionally Supportive of Eye Health
A balanced diet may include cooked leafy greens, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, berries, goji berries, black sesame seeds, walnuts, eggs, fish, whole grains, and other nourishing foods appropriate for the individual’s constitution and digestive tolerance.
Adequate hydration and healthy digestion are also important because the Spleen and Stomach transform food into Qi and Blood, which traditionally help nourish the Liver and eyes.
Supporting Healthy Vision from Within
Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes that eye concerns may involve excess Heat or Fire, Blood Stasis, impaired circulation, Kidney Yin deficiency, disrupted fluid regulation, or insufficient nourishment reaching the eyes. Supporting eye wellness therefore involves more than resting the eyes; the individual’s digestion, circulation, hydration, sleep, stress, nutrition, screen habits, and underlying TCM pattern should also be considered.
Consistent meals, balanced nutrition, adequate hydration, quality sleep, regular movement, healthy screen habits, and proper eye protection can complement a traditional Chinese herbal wellness routine and support visual clarity, eye comfort, fluid balance, and long-term eye health.
Individual needs may vary according to constitution, digestive tolerance, health status, and Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern.

Research on Traditional Herbs Used in Eye Support (G)
Modern research has examined individual herbs used in Eye Support (G), including Fresh Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang), Scute (Huang Qin), Goldthread Rhizome (Huang Lian), Safflower (Hong Hua), and Thorowax Root (Chai Hu). Published reviews have explored their traditional applications, phytochemical compounds, antioxidant activity, inflammatory pathways, circulation-related effects, immune regulation, and broader biological properties.
Research on Scute has examined flavonoids such as baicalin and baicalein, while Goldthread Rhizome contains alkaloids such as berberine. Published research has investigated these compounds for their antioxidant, inflammatory-pathway, cellular-protective, and other pharmacological activities.
Fresh Rehmannia has been studied for its iridoids, saccharides, amino acids, and other naturally occurring compounds. Safflower research has examined flavonoids and quinochalcones associated with antioxidant activity and circulation-related pathways. Research on Thorowax Root has explored saikosaponins and other compounds for their effects on inflammatory, immune, liver-related, and nervous-system pathways.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, Fresh Rehmannia cools and nourishes the Blood and Yin; Scute and Goldthread Rhizome clear excess Heat; Safflower promotes the circulation of Blood and reduces Blood Stasis; and Thorowax Root supports the smooth movement of Liver Qi.
Together, these traditional actions support the TCM principles of clearing excess Heat, promoting healthy circulation, nourishing Yin and Blood, reducing stagnation, and maintaining visual comfort and internal balance.

honey is the only binding agent

herbs harvested at the height of potency
100% Natural
Our herbal supplements are made with natural honey as the binder. Honey can support the lungs, intestine, spleen, and stomach; It works as a natural preservative with antibacterial and healing properties. Unlike other herbal supplement companies that use starch, magnesium, and other chemical substances as binders for their supplements, we only use 100% honey. We also avoid using vegetable capsules because they require chemical components to form the capsule shape.
Peak Harvest Herbs
The herbs in our herbal pill blends are harvested at the height of their potency and they are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre-or post-season, but in our view, there is no substitute for premium quality.

Emphasizing prevention over cure is paramount for maintaining this balance. Without health, life can become incredibly challenging. It affects our ability to pursue our goals, enjoy our relationships, and experience daily life to the fullest. Good health forms the foundation for everything else we want to achieve and experience.” - Ann Tam

Ann's Story
Here's my story.
If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.
I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.
When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.
I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.
My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.
I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.
Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?
One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.
We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.
The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.
I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”
“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.
My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”
“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.
Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.
My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.
After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.
Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.
I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.
When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.
After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.
