Gao Fang, a type of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a paste-like medication that aims to nourish the body and promote overall health. It has been traditionally used for its nourishing and strengthening effects and was particularly valued by the royalties during the Ming and Qing dynasties, leading to the recording of numerous Gao Fang prescriptions from that era. In contemporary times, Chinese white-collar workers are highly interested in Gao Fang as a means to maintain their health.

The primary objective of Gao Fang is to restore balance within the body and improve overall well-being. It is particularly suitable for individuals experiencing sub-health conditions, the elderly, young children with weak constitutions, and those recovering from a major illness. Before prescribing Gao Fang, our experienced TCM physicians will assess your health condition to determine its suitability for you.

The preparation of Gao Fang is a time-consuming process involving extensive brewing and complex procedures to ensure a high concentration of active components. Each customized Gao Fang prescription requires a minimum of 2-3 weeks for preparation. Depending on the prescribed dosage, Gao Fang can be consumed over a period of 1 to 3 months. The paste-like nature of Gao Fang makes it convenient to consume—a spoonful of herbal paste dissolved in warm water is all that’s needed.
