Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know which formula is right for me?

The best formula depends on your individual pattern of imbalance, not just your symptoms. Two people with the same symptom may require completely different formulas. If you are unsure which product is right for you, we recommend scheduling a consultation or contacting our team for guidance.

2. Do I need to visit your clinic in person?

No. We work with clients throughout the United States and around the world through virtual consultations.

3. How do you evaluate clients remotely?

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses several diagnostic methods, including observation, questioning, listening, and pulse assessment. Since most of our clients are located throughout the world, we use detailed health questionnaires along with tongue analysis, symptom patterns, and health history to evaluate each individual.

We may ask for clear photos of your tongue, eyes, face, hands, nails, or other areas when appropriate. Tongue analysis is one of the most important diagnostic tools in Traditional Chinese Medicine and provides valuable information about digestion, circulation, organ function, fluids, heat, cold, and overall balance within the body.

4. Why is tongue analysis important in Traditional Chinese Medicine?

The tongue is considered a reflection of the body's internal condition. The color, shape, coating, moisture, and markings on the tongue can provide important clues about patterns of deficiency, excess, heat, cold, dampness, and stagnation.

Tongue analysis allows us to gather valuable information even when clients are located far away and cannot be examined in person.

5. Can I take Chinese herbs with prescription medications?

If you are taking prescription medications, we recommend consulting your physician and informing us of all medications and supplements you are currently taking. In many situations herbs and medications can be used together appropriately, but individual circumstances vary. Never discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your healthcare provider.

6. How long does it take for herbal remedies to work?

Every individual is different. Factors such as age, overall health, severity of the condition, lifestyle habits, and how long symptoms have been present all influence recovery time.

Some people notice changes within days, while long-standing imbalances may require several months of consistent support.

7. How do I take and store the herbal pills?

Store herbal pills in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Always keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use.

Follow the dosage instructions on the label unless otherwise directed by your practitioner.

8. Are your products made in the United States?

Yes. Silkie Herbs products are manufactured in the United States using carefully selected herbs and traditional preparation methods. Our formulas are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and family herbal traditions passed down through generations.

9. What makes Silkie Herbs different?

Silkie Herbs combines traditional family herbal knowledge with modern quality standards. Our formulas are designed according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles rather than simply targeting symptoms.

We focus on identifying underlying patterns of imbalance and selecting formulas that support the body's natural ability to restore balance.

10. Do Chinese herbs always taste bitter?

No. Traditional Chinese herbs contain a wide variety of flavors including sweet, bitter, sour, pungent, and salty. Some formulas may have a stronger herbal taste than others, while many are quite mild.

11. Are Chinese herbs safe?

When used appropriately and according to professional guidance, Chinese herbs have a long history of traditional use. However, like any supplement or medicine, herbs should be used responsibly and according to directions.

Always inform your healthcare provider about any herbs, supplements, or medications you are taking.

12. What is a consultation like?

During a consultation, we review your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns, energy levels, digestion, emotional well-being, and other factors. We may also request tongue photos and additional images when appropriate.

Based on this information, we develop personalized recommendations designed to support your individual needs.

13. Can children and pets use herbal remedies?

Certain herbal formulas may be appropriate for children or pets, but recommendations should always be based on the individual's age, size, health history, and specific needs. Please contact us before administering any herbal product to a child or pet.

14. Do I need to change my diet while taking herbs?

Diet plays an important role in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Depending on your condition, we may recommend specific dietary adjustments to help support your body's healing process and improve results.

15. How do I schedule a consultation?

You can schedule a consultation through our website or contact our team directly. Once scheduled, you will receive instructions on how to prepare, including how to take clear tongue photos and any additional information needed for your appointment.

Silkie Sweaty Hands and Feet

I’ve struggled with excessive hand sweat for years, and it honestly made everyday things uncomfortable, from writing on paper to holding my phone or other objects. After having a consultation with Ann, I was recommended the sweaty hands and feet supplements and the difference has been amazing. Within a short time of using it consistently, my hands stayed noticeably drier and I felt so much more confident in public and social situations. This product has genuinely helped control my excessive sweating and improved my daily life. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with sweaty hands or feet!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed 5-star review, Anjia! We’re truly happy to hear that the Sweaty Hands and Feet Formula has made such a meaningful difference in your daily life and confidence. Excessive sweating can affect so many simple everyday activities, and we know how frustrating and uncomfortable that can feel. In traditional herbal medicine, this pattern is often related to internal imbalance and regulation issues within the body, so supporting the root cause can help the body gradually stabilize over time. We’re so glad the formula has helped keep your hands noticeably drier and improve your comfort in social situations. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation — we truly appreciate your support and are honored to be part of your wellness journey!

Good Respiratory Support during Allergy Season

This product is effectively helping me reduce my reliance on over the counter allergy medication.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Ketayun! We’re so glad to hear the Herbal Steam for Lung Cleanse has been helping support your respiratory health during allergy season and reducing your reliance on over-the-counter allergy medication. In traditional herbal practice, supporting the lungs and clearing external irritants can help the body feel more open and balanced during seasonal changes.

Spleen Support

Silkie Herbals Spleen Support has greatly improved my overall skin complexion and health. I began to take their spleen supplement along with their acne supplement for my irritated skin and so far, I have seen much improvement! Not only have I seen reduction of acne on my skin, I have also noticed the other benefits such as reduced bloating after meals. Overall, I highly recommend Silkie Herbals Spleen Support to anyone having digestive problems or skin problems!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful 5-star review, Anjia! We’re so happy to hear that the Spleen Support and Acne Supplement combination has helped improve both your skin and digestion. In traditional herbal medicine, the digestive system plays a major role in skin health. When digestion becomes weak, dampness and heat can build internally and often show up through irritated skin, bloating, and breakouts. Strengthening the spleen and improving digestion can help the body rebalance from within. We truly appreciate your trust in Silkie Herbs and are grateful you shared your experience. Wishing you continued healing and clearer, healthier skin ahead!
