Shen Qu: The Divine Ferment
In this episode, Yvonne Lau takes us on a journey into the history, preparation, and traditional uses of Shen Qu, also known as “the divine ferment.” A key ingredient in many classic digestive formulas, Shen Qu has roots in ancient brewing traditions and a fascinating production process that blends herbs, fermentation, and traditional craftsmanship.
Yvonne explains how Shen Qu is made at Mayway’s Meiwei Hebei facility, why it has been valued for centuries, and how it supports healthy digestion and the Spleen–Stomach system. She also highlights its role during a season known for heavier foods and occasional overindulgence.
Tune in to learn more about this unique fermented herb and its place in the Chinese medicine approach to digestive wellness.
