Caring for your body with the power of nature — Wild Herb Powder joins the Wild Herb Tea lineup.
While Wild Herb Tea helps flush away what your body doesn't need, Wild Herb Powder delivers the nutrients your body wants to take in. Despite the name, it's not made from wild herbs alone — it's a powder blending vegetables, roots, and other ingredients into a well-balanced mix of everything the body needs. Since it's a raw, "living" ingredient that hasn't been heated, we recommend around one teaspoon a day as a daily nutritional boost.

Wolfberry leaves, mulberry leaves, red pine, persimmon leaves, kelp root, horsetail, green shiso, molokheiya, pumpkin, white sweet potato (kaiabo), Otaka enzyme powder, Korean ginseng, turmeric, loquat leaf powder, ginkgo leaves

There's a saying similar to "food as medicine" that goes something like "medicine can be poison" — meaning that even something beneficial, taken in the right amount, can become harmful in excess. Thinking about it that way, eating until you're only about 80% full may follow the same wisdom. The same goes for Wild Herb Powder: more isn't necessarily better. Each ingredient is potent on its own, so around one teaspoon a day is considered just right. We hope you'll find a favorite way to mix it into your daily routine.

Wild Herb Powder has a mild flavor with very little bitterness, so it dissolves easily and tastes good simply stirred into hot water (or Wild Herb Tea) — a touch of oligo-sugar syrup works nicely too, if you'd like a bit of sweetness. We also recommend sprinkling it over plain yogurt along with nuts, seeds, or sweet dried fruit (see the fourth photo). Some customers tell us it's delicious sprinkled over peperoncino, too. Lately, my own favorite is stirring Wild Herb Powder with a small pinch of natural salt, then pouring hot Wild Herb Tea over it — it's wonderful. Part of the fun is discovering new ways to enjoy it.

In a world full of additives and processed foods, truly natural ingredients have paradoxically become harder to come by. Wash away what your body doesn't need with Wild Herb Tea, and add back what it does need with Wild Herb Powder — removing the unnecessary while adding the essential, so nothing stagnates inside the body, much like keeping blood flowing freely.

Discovering Wild Herb Tea and Wild Herb Powder after moving to Yamanashi, and now having the chance to offer them here, feels like something of a calling — to share their goodness with others. As I've gotten older, I find myself thinking more and more about health, and I've come to feel that nothing is possible without it. Facing the discomfort of feeling unwell only deepens my appreciation for good health, and pushes me to think about what caused the imbalance in the first place — and to see the process of improving it as one of life's more interesting challenges. Even on the busiest days, keeping up small habits that are good for the body can add up to a longer, healthier, and happier life.

One bag lasts a couple about a month. Dr. Yasuda, who developed this powder and continues to teach me so much, is remarkably lively for someone in his 80s — always greeting me with more energy than you'd expect. "This is all we really need," he says, in an age full of additives. We simply want to eat things that make our bodies feel good, even in small ways. I believe in the quiet, gradual power of this kind of care.
