At Bodyfix, we believe healing should be as beautiful as it is effective. That’s why we’ve created a small-batch, steam-distilled herbal hydrosol that blends the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the gentle power of aromatic plants. Designed to support the lungs, clear the sinuses, and calm the spirit, this formula is your seasonal ally—especially when pollen counts rise and your chest feels tight.
🌀 The TCM View of Allergies: More Than Just Sneezing
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, allergies aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a sign that the body’s Wei Qi (defensive energy) is out of balance. Wei Qi acts like your energetic immune system, protecting you from external “invaders” like Wind, Damp, and Heat. When it’s weak or disrupted, symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and fatigue can take hold.
TCM doesn’t just treat symptoms—it works to restore harmony. That’s where our hydrosol comes in.
🌸 What’s Inside: A Botanical Symphony
This hydrosol was crafted using a traditional alembic still, with herbs carefully chosen for their synergy and steam-extracted at low temperatures to preserve their most delicate aromatic compounds.

🌱 Why It Works: The TCM Philosophy in Action
This hydrosol isn’t just a pretty scent—it’s a functional formula. Each herb was selected based on its role in TCM’s energetic framework:
Wind-expelling herbs calm sudden symptoms like sneezing and itching
Qi-regulating herbs support the lungs and digestion (which TCM sees as closely linked)
Cooling and harmonizing herbs help reduce inflammation and emotional tension
Together, they create a gentle, non-invasive remedy that supports both body and spirit.
