How to Use this Catalog

Dragon Herbs is here to serve you by providing as much information as we are legally permitted to disseminate. We
provide a wide range of extraordinary tonic herbs, herbal formulations, teas and superfoods. We offer robust online
services and we operate a live call center with real, professional herbalists seven days a week. If you become so inclined,
you may visit one of our emporiums.
Dragon Herbs Catalog 2018 is divided into two sections: Part 1 - Guidance, Services & Herbs and
Part 2 - Products & Services.
We advise everyone to read Part 1 - Guidance, Services & Herbs first. It is not mandatory, but it will provide you with a
very useful overview of tonic herbalism, the company, the mission and our services. By reading this section first, you will
become a mini-expert in the field of tonic herbalism and you will have a foundation for becoming a tonic connoisseur.
The section also provides an introduction to the 26 most important herbs used in tonic herbalism. Part 1 forms a
foundation for your understanding of the products in Part 2. There is a Glossary at the end of Part 2, which will serve you
when you study the products in the Catalog 2018 Part 2.

Part 2 is Dragon Herbs’ catalog of products. We manufacture several hundred remarkable products, which is a lot. So we
have attempted to create understandable categories. You may start studying the catalog from anywhere, but we advise
that you start from the beginning and work your way through. You may make notes and check off the items that intrigue
you. Refer to the Glossary and other materials in Part 1 whenever you need a reminder of definitions.
Your Own Tonic Program will guide you through the process of deciding what you might want to use to build an herbal
program. You may enter notes in this section on herbs, formulations and products that intrigue you.
This catalog contains many references to people, places and herbs that are subject to different spellings. As a literary
convention Dragon Herbs uses pinyin (modern western transliteration of Chinese) for Chinese names, but with a tiny
caveat. Modern Pinyin (Chinese writing using our lettering system) often combines words that traditionally had separate
written characters (e.g., pin yin, now commonly spelled pinyin; or dan shen, now often spelled danshen). We have
chosen for this catalog to use separate words: so we will call the herb Salvia miltorrhiza (Chinese Red Sage) Dan Shen, not
Danshen. If you cross reference our terms, you will want to use both search terms. Also, out of respect for the herbs and
major superfoods, we generally capitalize the name (e.g., Schizandra, Goji, Reishi, and even Tea).

Full Service Herb Shops and Call Center

Herbal consultations are available in person and over the phone.
Confused about what supplements to take, and when and how to take them? The human body is a complicated system
made up of interwoven functions and organs. Professionally trained tonic herbalists understand the human body as well
as the herbs that promote our body’s wellbeing. Their guidance will help pave a smooth path towards attaining glowing
health. Our herbalists will analyze many aspects of your health: your level of adaptability and protection, Yin and Yang
balance, primary body functions such as digestion and sleep patterns, lifestyle, 3 Treasures (the 3 primary energies of life),
organs and meridians, etc. They will then custom-craft a tonic program consisting of different herbal formulations to help
restore balance to your body. We call this a “program.”

Dragon Herbs offers hundreds of herbal formulations, and we consider it our responsibility and privilege to help you find
the best herbs and formulations for YOU. We are open every day for your convenience, and there is no need to make an
appointment — our herbalists are prepared to work with you on a walk-in or call-in basis.
Our emphasis is on building your health. We do this by featuring tonic herbs and superfoods. Our highly trained,
professional herbalists are dedicated to helping each individual with their own specific needs and to guide them along
the way to glowing health.
