From Shennong’s Herbal Legacy to Modern Wellness: The Origins of Herbylix’s Healing Philosophy
From Shennong’s Herbal Legacy to Modern Wellness: The Origins of Herbylix’s Healing Philosophy
For over 5,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has guided wellness through nature’s healing power. At Herbylix, our philosophy is deeply inspired by the legendary figure of Shennong, also known as the “Divine Farmer.”
According to ancient texts like the Shennong Bencao Jing (The Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica), Shennong personally tasted hundreds of herbs to classify their effects. This foundational text, believed to be compiled around 200 BCE, outlined over 365 medicinal plants — categorizing them by taste, energy, and therapeutic function.
Many of the calming, adaptogenic, and tonifying herbs we use today — such as ginseng, astragalus, and goji berry — were first documented in Shennong’s record. His belief that “medicine and food come from the same source” continues to shape holistic health worldwide.
At Herbylix, we honor this wisdom through herbal blends that harmonize with your body’s Qi (vital energy), supporting both emotional and physical healing.
Wellness, after all, begins with balance — and balance begins with nature.
