Some of the most commonly used Chinese herbs include Ginseng (energy and immunity), Astragalus (immune system support), Goji Berries (antioxidant properties), Dong Quai (women's health), and Reishi Mushroom (stress relief and immunity). Each herb has specific properties and should be used under proper guidance.

Chinese herbs should generally be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in airtight containers to prevent moisture and contamination. Different forms (dried herbs, powders, or pills) may have specific storage requirements. Check with your herbalist or the product packaging for specific instructions.

While many Chinese herbs are safe, some can interact with Western medications. It's essential to consult with both your healthcare provider and a qualified herbalist before combining herbs with any medications. Always disclose all medications and supplements you're taking to avoid potential interactions.

To ensure authenticity, purchase herbs from reputable shops with qualified herbalists. Look for stores that source from GMP-certified suppliers, maintain proper storage conditions, and can provide information about herb origins. Quality shops will have knowledgeable staff who can answer questions about their products and proper usage.
