How much do Chinese herbs cost?
Chinese “Patent medicines” or ready-made pills typically cost from $6-$20 per package. At standard dosages (relatively low) a package lasts about a week. Customized granulated formulas (which are mixed with hot water to make an herbal tea) are charged by weight and value of the herbs in the formula. Average cost is $15-$25 for a week’s dosage. Herbs in the raw form cost about the same price per equivalent dosage as the granule form. Although we don’t stock many of these, we have made arrangements with a highly regarded Chinese herbal pharmacy (Mayway) to custom make any required raw herb formulas and deliver them by mail, packaged and ready to cook. We also carry Western vitamins and supplements from a few trusted manufacturers with very high quality standards and well researched formulations.
