Always tired? What if your Qi (vital energy) is simply running dry?
From the moment you wake up, you feel drained. In the afternoon, drowsiness takes over, even though the day is far from over. A few flights of stairs leave you out of breath. And when the weekend comes, all you dream of is lying down, with no energy or motivation. Your memory slips, your concentration wavers… As if your energy had gently evaporated, never really to return.
So you look for answers.
You type "persistent fatigue" into a search engine. You ask around: your doctor, your loved ones. And often the answer is the same: lack of sleep, an unbalanced diet, not enough exercise, too much stress…
But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, fatigue that settles in is not just a matter of lifestyle: it often reflects a deeper imbalance, what is called a "Qi deficiency". Qi is the vital energy that circulates throughout the body. When it is abundant, the mind is sharp and the body responds well. But when it weakens, fatigue sets in, resistance drops and everything feels heavier.
As the Huangdi Neijing, a great founding text of TCM, puts it:In this approach, getting your energy back is not just about sleeping more or taking vitamins. It is about strengthening Qi, nourishing Blood and rebalancing the internal functions, especially those of the Spleen and Stomach, the organs that transform what we eat into vital energy.
Four classic Chinese herbs to help you regain your vital energy
1. Goji berries (枸杞子) – The "ruby of the Orient" that tones vital essence
Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, goji berries are much more than a trendy superfood. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids, they are reputed to support vitality, strengthen the body and fight persistent fatigue.
In TCM, they are known to nourish the Liver and Kidneys, two key organs in managing vital energy (Jing and Qi). They also help preserve eyesight and support the body's overall balance. Their nutritional richness makes them a true all-round tonic, valued as much for gently revitalising as for preserving energy over the long term.
- Anti-oxydant
- Reduces fatigue
- Detoxifies the body
- Vitalité de l'homme
2. Astragalus (黄芪) – The guardian of vital energy
An emblematic plant of the Chinese pharmacopoeia, astragalus is nicknamed the "king of Qi" for its ability to strengthen the body's deep energy. Used for centuries to support people who are weakened or convalescing, it is still one of the pillars of tonifying formulas in TCM today.
Rich in polysaccharides and natural antioxidants, astragalus helps stimulate the natural defences, strengthen physical resistance and combat chronic fatigue. In TCM, it is said to "tonify Qi", to protect the surface of the body (against external aggressions) and to promote recovery, especially after prolonged weakness.
It is a key plant for rebuilding underlying energy and regaining a solid foundation, essential for staying the course.
- Tonifies the Qi
- Gives tonus to the body
- Stimulates natural defenses
3. Ginseng (人参) – Vital drive par excellence
Considered the "king of tonic herbs", ginseng is one of the most precious treasures of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its reputation spans the centuries, and not without reason: it is used to restore drive, revive mental energy and strengthen the body as a whole.
Thanks to its powerful active compounds (notably ginsenosides), ginseng helps support endurance, improve resistance to stress, clear the mind and stabilise the emotions. In TCM, it is reputed to tonify original Qi, the fundamental energy that supports all vital functions, and to nourish the Spleen and Lungs, two key organs in energy production.
Ginseng is thus an all-round ally, physical as much as mental, ideal for those who feel out of breath, overwhelmed or lacking in motivation.
- Nourishes the Spleen and Lungs
- Anti-fatigue by strengthening Qi
- Supports natural defenses and enhances endurance
- Improves concentration and memory
4. Reishi (灵芝) – The herb of immortality for regaining balance
Revered in China for more than two thousand years, reishi, also called the "herb of immortality", is a symbol of longevity and serenity. This rare and precious adaptogenic mushroom is recognised for its ability to strengthen the natural defences, support recovery and calm the mind.
Rich in triterpenes, polysaccharides and other bioactive compounds, it helps reduce the effects of chronic stress, improve sleep quality and promote deep relaxation, which is essential for fully recharging the body.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, reishi is used to harmonise Yin and Yang, nourish the Heart (the seat of the emotions) and support Qi as a whole. It does not act as a stimulant, but as a regulator, helping the body gradually return to a state of inner balance.
- Anti-aging
- Supports immune system regulation
- Calms the mind for deep sleep
- Antioxidant and anti-fatigue
Each of these plants plays a unique role in rebalancing the body. But it is together, in synergy, that they reveal their full power: a complete action that nourishes Qi, supports the natural defences, calms the mind and deeply revitalises the body. Goji berries, astragalus, ginseng and reishi are all available individually, for those who wish to create their own wellness ritual based on Chinese herbs.
But if you prefer a simple, ready-to-use solution that is already balanced, the Anti-Fatigue Formula was designed for you: a practical capsule format, a precise dosage inspired by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and gradual effectiveness, with no sudden peak or dependency: just natural support to regain your vitality, day after day.
The optimal alliance of three great Qi tonics – Anti-Fatigue capsules
The Anti-Fatigue Formula does not work like a simple, fleeting pick-me-up. It is part of a broader vision of balance: that of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By combining three major adaptogenic plants, astragalus, ginseng and reishi, it works in synergy to gradually restore the body's energy balance, dispel entrenched fatigue and deeply revitalise the body, where exhaustion takes root.
No caffeine here, no artificial stimulation. Just a natural alliance designed to gently revitalise, strengthen internal energy (Qi) and help the body find its own rhythm again.
The goal: not to mask fatigue, but to support a gradual return to stable vitality, more grounded and more lasting. An energy that doesn't run out all at once, but rebuilds itself from within, day after day.
This is the thinking behind our Anti-Fatigue Formula, which builds on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through a synergy of recognised plants, it supports the body's key functions: it tonifies Qi, nourishes the blood and helps rebalance the Spleen and Stomach, which are essential for transforming what we eat into vital energy.
By acting on deep imbalances rather than surface effects, it helps the body regain new momentum, naturally. Three capsules a day, before or after meals, are enough to gently begin this work, towards more clarity, strength and grounding in everyday life.

and preserve your inner balance.
