The founder of Ho Yan Hor Herbal Tea, Dr. Ho Kai Cheong, was a Chinese medical practitioner who graduated from Canton Wah Lam National Physicians Medical School. With the intention of helping people, he formulated a unique concoction of 23 specially chosen herbs and created Ho Yan Hor Herbal Tea at the age of 35. It was effective in relieving heatiness and cures a common cold, by allowing self-healing. Post-WWII, Ho Yan Hor herbal tea became a popular alternative to western medicine because of its fast relief of common cold. In 1957, the Flu Epidemic spread throughout the world and killed millions of people. At this time, Ho Yan Hor herbal tea offered an effective solution and became the most sought-after household brand. In the 1980s, Dr. Ho Kai Cheong’s eldest son Mr. David Ho Sue San, who graduated as a pharmacist, inherited the business and started modernizing the manufacturing process of the herbal tea. Mr. David Ho led the manufacturing of Ho Yan Hor into a new chapter. Today, the manufacturing plant is GMP-certified which assures the high quality of herbal tea produced.

When the dry, harsh winds of autumn or the heated, arid indoor air of winter disrupt the delicate moisture of our lungs, a specific type of cough emerges—one that is tickling, unproductive, and often accompanied by a dry, scratchy throat. For centuries, Chinese herbalists have turned to a harmonious blend of botanicals to gently moisten, soothe, and heal.

It is a potent ally for the dry, irritating coughs of seasonal changes, overheated rooms, or post-infection lung dryness. However, its power is precisely targeted. By respecting the TCM principle of pattern differentiation—distinguishing between Dryness and Dampness—we can use this syrup wisely. For a dry, unproductive cough, it is a nurturing balm. For a wet, phlegmy cough, it is contraindicated. As with all TCM, understanding the nature of the imbalance is the first step to true healing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This article is for informational purposes based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
