Rectify the Qi.
Clear the Damp. Relieve Whole-Body Pain.

Atone Tea is the super-premium Imperial Grade version of Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Tang (藿香正气汤) — meaning “Agastache Formula to Rectify the Qi.” Smooth, sweet, and genuinely delicious, this tea has been used for centuries in China as a frontline remedy for damp-type illness, and is one of the most widely recognized formulas in Chinese medicine for clearing pathological dampness from the body.

At Crawford Wellness, we recommend Atone Tea for patients with fibromyalgia, chronic viral illness, post-COVID conditions, and any presentation where damp-type heavy pain, digestive disruption, and immune vulnerability are central features.

Who Atone Tea Is For

Traditionally used for relief from:

• Fibromyalgia — damp-type whole-body heavy pain — especially flares triggered by viral infection, humidity, or dietary excess
• Post-viral illness & long COVID — clears residual damp-heat and restores healthy qi circulation
• Viral illness prevention — used extensively in China for prevention and early treatment of COVID-19 and other “damp plague” type viral diseases
• Summer flu & seasonal illness — externally contracted damp-type diseases with nausea, heaviness, and digestive upset
• Food poisoning & traveler’s diarrhea — one of China’s most trusted over-the-counter remedies for acute GI illness
• Nausea, bloating & digestive dampness — aromatically transforms damp accumulation in the middle jiao
• Preventative immune support — ideal as a summer and autumn drink to promote healthy fluid metabolism and increase resilience in high-exposure environments

Fibromyalgia Damp Pain Protocol

For fibromyalgia patients dealing with whole-body damp heavy pain, Atone Tea works powerfully in combination with:

• Aquada — clears damp heat from the joints and lower body
• Tibetan Foot Soaks — draws dampness downward and out through the feet

How Atone Tea Works

In TCM, pathological dampness is a fluid accumulation that settles in the muscles, joints, and digestive system — producing the characteristic heavy, achy, foggy feeling that fibromyalgia patients know well. When combined with heat (from viral infection, stress, or diet), it becomes damp heat — driving inflammation, immune dysregulation, and systemic pain.

Atone Tea works by:

• Aromatically transforming dampness — the volatile oils in Huo Xiang and Zi Su Ye disperse and dry pathological fluid accumulation
• Rectifying the qi — restoring the smooth downward and outward flow of qi through the lungs, stomach, and intestines
• Releasing the exterior — opening the pores to expel pathogens and damp through sweating
• Harmonizing the middle jiao — calming nausea, bloating, and digestive disruption
• Supporting immune defense — strengthening wei qi and the body’s ability to resist and clear viral pathogens

Key Ingredients & Their Healing Actions

• Huo Xiang / Agastache — the chief herb; aromatically transforms dampness, releases the exterior, harmonizes the middle jiao. Our leaf:stem ratio is ≥1:2 — far above the pharmacopeia minimum of 1:4 — delivering more leaf and more of the treasured volatile oils.
• Zi Su Ye / Perilla Leaf — releases the exterior, disperses cold, calms the fetus, relieves nausea. Top-quality purple-backed leaves sourced through direct connections — look for the beautiful purple color on the back of each leaf.
• Bai Zhi / Angelica Dahuricae — expels wind-damp, relieves pain and headache, reduces swelling
• Da Fu Pi / Areca Peel — moves qi downward, reduces abdominal distension, promotes urination to drain dampness
• Bai Zhu / Atractylodes — strengthens the spleen, dries dampness, supports digestive function
• Fu Ling / Poria — strengthens the spleen, resolves dampness, calms the mind
• Ban Xia Qu / Fermented Pinellia — unlike most HXZQ on the market using Fa Ban Xia, Botanical Biohacking uses the original Ban Xia Qu — a fermented mix of Ban Xia, ginger juice, and Shen Qu. This is the true traditional formula, more difficult to make but significantly more effective. Dries dampness, relieves nausea, harmonizes the stomach.
• Hou Po / Magnolia Bark — moves qi, dries dampness, reduces abdominal fullness and distension
• Jie Geng / Platycodon — opens the lungs, expels phlegm, directs the formula upward to the respiratory system
• Chen Pi / Aged Citrus Peel — moves qi, dries dampness, dissolves phlegm, harmonizes digestion
• Gan Cao / Licorice Root — harmonizes all herbs, tonifies spleen qi, reduces inflammation

Nerdy Highlights: Why This Formula Is Different

• Ban Xia Qu vs. Fa Ban Xia: Most HXZQ on the market uses Fa Ban Xia (processed with alum). Botanical Biohacking uses the original Ban Xia Qu — fermented Ban Xia with ginger juice and Shen Qu. More difficult to produce, but this is the true classical formula and significantly more potent for damp transformation.
• Huo Xiang leaf:stem ratio: The pharmacopeia requires a minimum leaf:stem ratio of 1:4. Most commercial products meet only this minimum. Atone Tea achieves a ratio of ≥1:2 — more leaf, more volatile oils, more aromatic damp-transforming power.
• Zi Su Ye sourcing: Top-quality Perilla leaf became extremely scarce during COVID-19 due to massive demand. Botanical Biohacking leveraged direct sourcing relationships to secure the best available — identifiable by the beautiful deep purple color on the back of each leaf.

Restore Flow. Dissolve Stasis.

Glow Tea is Botanical Biohacking’s Imperial Grade version of Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan — a classical formula first recorded nearly 2,000 years ago in the Essentials from the Golden Cabinet, one of TCM’s most revered medical classics. For women living with PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, painful periods, or chronic pelvic pain, this formula addresses the root pattern — blood stasis — that drives these conditions.

At Crawford Wellness, Glow Tea is recommended for patients where blood stagnation in the lower jiao is causing pain, masses, hormonal disruption, or fertility challenges.

Who Glow Tea Is For

Traditionally used for relief from:

• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) — reduces inflammation, improves insulin sensitivity, and restores healthy intestinal flora; extensively studied for this purpose
• Uterine fibroids — clinically shown to reduce fibroid volume and relieve associated painful periods
• Painful periods (dysmenorrhea) — moves blood stasis causing menstrual pain and cramping
• Pain with ovulation — clears stagnation in the reproductive channels
• Ovarian cysts & abdominal masses — breaks up accumulations and promotes resolution
• Amenorrhea due to blood stasis — restores normal menstrual flow
• Persistent lochia after delivery — clears retained blood postpartum
• Fertility support — commonly recommended for women trying to conceive where blood stasis is a factor (see safety note below)

The Research

• 2014 systematic review of randomized clinical trials — Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan was shown to be effective at reducing the volume of uterine fibroids and soothing painful periods associated with fibroid growth
• 2020 animal study (Frontiers in Endocrinology) — Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan was remarkably effective at reducing inflammation and promoting healthy intestinal flora in PCOS with insulin resistance — addressing the gut-hormone axis that drives PCOS

How Glow Tea Works

In TCM, blood stasis is a pattern where blood flow becomes sluggish or obstructed — producing fixed pain, masses, dark clotted menstrual blood, and reproductive dysfunction. Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan works by:

• Enhancing blood circulation — warming the channels and moving stagnant blood
• Removing blood stasis — dissolving the accumulations that form fibroids, cysts, and masses
• Clearing heat from the blood — reducing the inflammatory component of blood stasis
• Regulating the microbiome — supporting the gut-hormone axis critical for PCOS and hormonal balance

Key Ingredients & Their Healing Actions

• Gui Zhi / Cinnamon Twig — warms the channels, unblocks yang qi, moves blood and improves circulation throughout the lower jiao
• Fu Ling / Poria — strengthens the spleen, resolves dampness, calms the mind, supports healthy fluid metabolism
• Mu Dan Pi / Peony Root Bark — clears heat from the blood, breaks blood stasis, reduces inflammation
• Bai Shao / White Peony Root — nourishes blood, softens the liver, relieves cramping and spasm
• Dan Tao Ren / Wild Mountain Peach Kernel — breaks blood stasis, dissolves masses, moistens the intestines. Botanical Biohacking uses wild mountain peach kernel — more potent than regular varieties, carefully processed to preserve the highest active enzyme content of any peach kernel available.
• Qi Ai Ye / Mugwort Leaf — a unique addition to this formula. Sourced from 4-year-old mugwort in Qi Xian, Hu Bei Province — the hometown of the legendary physician Li Shizhen and the premier growing region for this herb. Warms the uterus, stops bleeding, and secures fetal health for women using this formula to support fertility.
