Chinese herbs for traveling

Next week I am going to Mexico, and in addition to being very excited. I am reminded to prepare for my trip by getting some Chinese herbs which can take care of those stomach issues on the road.

The best all around herbal formula for travelers digestive woes is Huo xiang zheng qi tang, which translates to the Patchoui formula for correcting the qi. This formula is very useful for mild to moderate stomach problems like traveler’s diarrhea. Take it as soon as you feel a little bad. This is an aromatic formula which boosts digestion through pungent herbs like patchoui and ginger.

    Or, of course, there are the good old stand-bys, Po Chai Pills. GUARANTEED to cure a funny tummy – they’ve never failed me yet!

    This is true. But it there is a true bug in your get, then the huo xiang zheng qi tang is better. The Po Chai Wan are great for an upset tummy and bloating, not to mention overeating. Thanks!
