Su Wen Herbs, created by Giovanni Maciocia, for acupuncturists

Su Wen Herbs was founded in 1994 by Giovanni Maciocia® C.Ac (Nanjing), world renowned author, acupuncturist and herbalist, with over 39 years of clinical experience and research.

He created three lines of herbal formulas:

  • The Three Treasures
  • Women’s Treasure and
  • The Little Treasures.

Whilst rooted in classical formulations, Giovanni adapted them to be able to better address the complex patterns he saw in his practice in the West.

The Su Wen Herbs Range

The Three Treasures is the “core” line within Su Wen Herbs, with the Women’s Treasure and Little Treasures being dedicated gynecological and pediatric lines respectively. Giovanni’s innovation was that each formula addresses a specific and clinically common pattern within a particular “Organ’s” sphere. Their clinical application rests on acupuncturists choosing whether to tonify only, clear only, or to tonify & clear simultaneously.

Women’s Treasure® products are based on classical Chinese formulas with special added focus and consideration on women’s health issues.

The formulae are based on ancient Chinese formulations but adapted by Giovanni’s 39-years of clinical experience. Composed of 12 formulae, the line addresses some of the most common patterns seen in a Western clinic.

The formulae are vegan friendly as well as free from:
