What Is Ovarian Support Supplement?
Ovarian Support Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support ovarian health, female reproductive wellness, pelvic comfort, healthy circulation, hormonal balance, and overall gynecological wellness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy ovarian and reproductive function depends on the proper circulation of Qi and Blood, balanced function of the Liver and Spleen, and the harmonious flow of Chong Mai and Ren Mai (the body's reproductive energy pathways). These systems help support reproductive health, pelvic comfort, healthy menstrual function, and overall female wellness.
When Qi stagnation, Blood stagnation, phlegm accumulation, and dampness develop within the body, they may contribute to pelvic discomfort, abdominal fullness, feelings of pressure, and the formation of masses according to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. Individuals may experience discomfort in the lower abdomen, pelvic pressure, bloating, heaviness, bowel or bladder discomfort, and reduced overall reproductive wellness.
This empirical herbal blend is traditionally used to support healthy ovarian function, reproductive wellness, pelvic circulation, Liver-Spleen balance, and the healthy movement of Qi and Blood. It is commonly chosen by individuals seeking support for ovarian wellness, pelvic comfort, lower abdominal fullness, healthy reproductive function, and long-term gynecological health.*

Ovarian Cysts and Ovarian Masses
Some women may experience ovarian cysts, ovarian masses, or pelvic growths that develop gradually over time. Traditional Chinese Medicine often associates these patterns with Blood Stagnation, Phlegm accumulation, and impaired circulation within the reproductive system.
Pelvic Discomfort or Lower Abdominal Fullness
Individuals may experience feelings of pressure, fullness, heaviness, or discomfort within the lower abdomen or pelvic region. These sensations may develop gradually and often persist over extended periods of time.
Pain During Intercourse
Discomfort during intimacy may occur in women experiencing underlying reproductive imbalances. Traditional Chinese Medicine often views this symptom as a sign of impaired circulation, Blood Stagnation, or obstruction affecting the pelvic region.

Some women experience recurring discomfort, tenderness, pressure, or aching sensations along the bikini line, groin area, or lower pelvic region. Symptoms may be intermittent or persistent depending on the underlying pattern.
Abdominal Bloating and Lower Abdominal Distention

Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Ovarian Health
According to traditional Chinese herbal principles, healthy ovarian function is supported by balanced circulation, proper fluid metabolism, healthy digestion, emotional well-being, and the smooth flow of Qi and Blood. Daily habits that support these functions may help promote long-term reproductive wellness and hormonal balance.
For best results:
- Eat regular, balanced meals on a consistent schedule
- Prioritize warm, freshly prepared foods over excessive cold or raw foods
- Maintain a healthy body weight through proper nutrition and regular physical activity
- Stay physically active with walking, stretching, Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, or other forms of movement
- Get adequate sleep and maintain a consistent sleep schedule
- Manage stress through meditation, deep breathing, relaxation, or other healthy practices
- Stay well hydrated throughout the day
- Support healthy digestion and regular bowel movements
- Allow adequate time for rest and recovery during periods of increased physical or emotional stress
To support healthy ovarian and reproductive function, it is recommended to limit:

- Excess sugar and sugary beverages
- Deep-fried, greasy, or heavily processed foods

Foods traditionally considered supportive for women's health include cooked vegetables, whole grains, leafy greens, berries, beans, dates, walnuts, black sesame, lean proteins, and other nourishing foods that support Qi, Blood, and overall vitality.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy digestion is considered an important foundation of reproductive wellness because the Spleen helps transform food into Qi and Blood, which contribute to healthy circulation, nourishment, and overall balance throughout the body.
Consistent nutrition, quality sleep, regular exercise, stress management, and healthy digestion are important foundations for supporting ovarian health, hormonal balance, reproductive wellness, and long-term vitality.

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.
Our namesake "Silkie" is a Chinese breed of chicken that is well known for its calm and friendly temperament. They are gentle and caring and make wonderful mothers. A Silkie loves nothing more than brooding a cluster of eggs, whether they are hers or not, even if they are "duck eggs". We share the same outlook and care for our clients the same way we care for our own family.
Let's use the analogy of a river flow to illustrate the concept of Qi and Blood Stagnation, Kidney and Spleen Deficiency and Dampness and Phlegm Accumulation associated with ovarian cysts, mass, nodules in TCM
Let's use the analogy of a river flow to illustrate the concept of Qi and Blood Stagnation, Kidney and Spleen Deficiency and Dampness and Phlegm Accumulation associated with ovarian cysts, mass, nodules in TCM
Imagine a river flowing steadily through a lush valley, representing the harmonious flow of Qi and Blood in the body, essential for overall health. Now, let's explore how imbalances in this river flow relate to the development of ovarian cysts, masses, and nodules from the perspective of TCM.
Qi and Blood Stagnation:
- In our analogy, imagine a section of the river where debris and fallen trees obstruct the flow, causing turbulence and stagnation. This obstruction represents Qi and Blood stagnation in the pelvic area, disrupting the normal flow of energy and circulation.
- Similarly, emotional stress, unresolved tension, or stagnant Liver Qi in the body can create blockages, leading to Qi and Blood stagnation in the pelvic region.
- Just as the stagnant river water can become a breeding ground for algae and bacteria, stagnation in the pelvic area can predispose individuals to the formation of ovarian cysts or nodules.
Kidney and Spleen Deficiency:
- Now, picture the river's source high in the mountains, symbolizing the Kidneys, which store essence and vital energy. A weak or deficient Kidney source can be likened to a trickle instead of a steady stream, leading to deficiencies in reproductive health.
- The Spleen, depicted as the soil and nutrients nourishing the riverbanks, is responsible for transforming food into Qi and Blood. Deficiencies in Spleen Qi or Spleen Yang can result in inadequate nourishment, weakening the body's foundation and predisposing it to gynecological disorders.
- Just as a river without a strong source and fertile soil cannot sustain vibrant life along its banks, deficiencies in the Kidneys and Spleen can compromise reproductive health, contributing to the development of ovarian cysts or masses.
Dampness and Phlegm Accumulation:
- Lastly, envision the river winding through a marshy lowland, where stagnant water collects and forms muddy pools. This stagnant, damp environment represents the accumulation of Dampness and Phlegm in the body, obstructing the free flow of Qi and Blood.
- Excessive consumption of greasy or fatty foods, sedentary lifestyle habits, and exposure to damp environments contribute to the accumulation of Dampness and Phlegm, further impeding the body's natural processes.
- Just as stagnant water in a marshy area breeds mosquitoes and other pests, Dampness and Phlegm accumulation in the pelvic region can create a fertile ground for the formation of ovarian cysts, masses, or nodules.
In summary, by using the analogy of a river flow, we can better understand how imbalances such as Qi and Blood stagnation, Kidney and Spleen deficiency, and Dampness and Phlegm accumulation in the body can contribute to the development of ovarian issues in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Addressing these imbalances through TCM modalities aims to restore the smooth flow of Qi and Blood, strengthen the body's foundation, and promote overall reproductive health and well-being.
