Peak Tea

A Tea For Chronic Lyme,

Fibromyalgia and Autoimmune Conditions

Clear Hidden Pathogens. Restore Your Microbiome. Breathe Freely.

Peak Tea is a precision-crafted herbal formula designed for those dealing with chronic illness, persistent inflammation, and hidden pathogenic load — the kind that conventional medicine often misses. Based on two of TCM’s most respected classical formulas, Xiao Chai Hu Tang and San Ren Tang, Peak Tea has been streamlined for maximum potency and clinical effectiveness.

By removing several herbs from the originals and concentrating on the most active ingredients — including wild-crafted Tibetan Chai Hu (Bupleurum) — this formula delivers a more targeted action: clearing pathological heat and inflammation, refreshing the respiratory and gastrointestinal microbiomes, and expelling hidden pathogens from the lymphatic system, liver, and the shaoyang layer of the body.

At Crawford Wellness, Peak Tea is part of our integrative protocols for patients with chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions, long COVID, and complex chronic illness, where lingering pathogens and systemic inflammation are driving factors.

Also pairs powerfully with Wind Tea for broader respiratory and immune support.

Who Peak Tea Is For

This formula is especially beneficial for those experiencing:

• Chronic Lyme disease — clears pathogenic heat from the lymphatic system and shaoyang layer
• Long COVID & post-viral illness — restores descending lung function and clears residual heat
• Fibromyalgia & autoimmune conditions — reduces systemic inflammation without harming the microbiome
• Chronic respiratory issues — opens and restores the lungs’ descending and dispersing functions
• Gut dysbiosis & dampness accumulation — aromatically transforms and drains pathological dampness
• Liver congestion & lymphatic stagnation — clears heat and moves stagnation from the liver and shaoyang
• Persistent low-grade infections — targets hidden pathogens that evade standard treatment

How Peak Tea Works

In TCM, the shaoyang layer is a semi-interior zone where pathogens can become lodged — neither fully on the surface nor deep in the organs — producing symptoms like alternating fever and chills, fatigue, lymph node swelling, and digestive disruption. This is a pattern commonly seen in chronic Lyme, long COVID, and autoimmune flares.

Peak Tea works by:

• Restoring the descending function of the Lungs — supporting proper respiratory rhythm and clearing
• Aromatically transforming dampness — leaching pathological fluid accumulation from the body
• Opening, lifting, and clearing heat from the Shaoyang layer — expelling hidden pathogens from the lymphatic system and liver
• Protecting the microbiome — unlike antibiotics, this formula clears heat and pathogens without disrupting healthy gut flora

Key Ingredients & Their Healing Actions

• Chai Hu / Bupleurum Radix (wild-crafted, Tibet) — the chief herb; opens the shaoyang, clears heat, moves liver qi stagnation, and expels pathogens from the lymphatic layer. Wild-crafted Tibetan Chai Hu is significantly more potent than commercially grown varieties.
• Yin Chen Hao / Artemisiae Scopariae — clears pathological heat and dampness from the liver and gallbladder; reduces inflammation without harming the body’s innate microbiome. A key addition that distinguishes Peak Tea from the classical formulas.
• Ku Xing Ren / Armeniacae Amarum (Bitter Apricot Kernel) — restores the descending function of the lungs; relieves cough, wheezing, and respiratory congestion.
• Bai Dou Kou / Amomi Kravanh (White Cardamom) — aromatically transforms dampness, warms the middle jiao, moves qi, and supports digestive function and microbiome health.
• Yi Yi Ren / Coicis (Job’s Tears) — drains dampness, strengthens the spleen, clears heat, and expels pathogenic accumulation from the muscles and joints.

How to Brew Peak Tea

For maximum extraction of active ingredients, boil 1–2 teabags for 20–30 minutes rather than simply steeping. This is essential for drawing out the full potency of Chai Hu and the other roots in this formula.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep sealed after opening
• Keep out of reach of children

⚠️ Consult your licensed TCM practitioner or healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or managing a complex chronic condition with existing medications.
