After discovering your unique energy patterns through a one-on-one consultation with an accredited herbalist, return to enjoy your custom herbal blend from our selection of 40 USDA certified organic and third-party tested herbs. Continue to gather insights about your well-being through the lens of Chinese healing traditions.

TCM approaches the body as an interconnected system — Qi, Yin-Yang balance, and the Five Phases form a framework for understanding how symptoms relate to underlying patterns rather than isolated causes. It is one of the oldest continuously practiced medical traditions, and one that modern research is increasingly in conversation with.

Contemporary studies suggest TCM herbs work through multi-target biological pathways — anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroendocrine — producing effects that are difficult to replicate with single-compound interventions. The mechanisms are still being mapped, but the clinical tradition behind them is long and well-documented.

For the first time, Silver Root Apothecary, which is driven by its mission for TCM education and a team of Chinese females with diverse backgrounds, has arrived outside of China, landing right in the heart of NYC's SoHo. While this is a sensory experience, we treat TCM with deep reverence at every step, from herb selection, to staff training, to our consultation with you.

While most modern TCM clinics and hospitals consultations last barely 10 minutes, ours is designed to go far deeper to encourage long-lasting behavioral changes and actionable insights rooted in TCM.

We source all-certified-organic Dao Di herbs, a rarity even within China and nearly impossible to find in New York.

The majority of our tools, jars, and vessels were handpicked intentionally in China with sustainability in mind.

Located in a historical neighborhood in Shanghai, Silver Root Apothecary is an east-meets-west food therapy studio focused on the concepts of “food as medicine,” Chinese healing philosophy, and holistic natural living. Created by registered dietitian, food therapist, and a Shanghai native, Zoey Xinyi Gong, Silver Root offers a wide range of cooking classes, wellness workshops, nutrition consultations, TCM treatments, creative cultural events, and highly curated products that are designed to provide the tools and knowledge for selfcare and healing.
