About us

For over 5,000 years, natural herbs have been used for healing and balance in Ancient China. They have found that most of what ails us can be remedied with natural, organic herbs.

From the highest mountains to the purest spring water, herbs are abundant in China. Herbs are derived from plants and used for therapeutic purposes and contain high-nutritional content. They are composed of a variety of minerals, vitamins and antibiotic substances that help in strengthening the body's immune system against disease.

The importance of herbal medicine has been amplified with the emergence of its increased use on a global scale. As more people turn toward natural cures, herbs play an integral role in healing and prevention. Herbs are considered to be natural energy boosters, backed with scientific evidence supporting their beneficial properties.

Dr. Baoyin Chao, a famous herbalist from the Guizhou Province, began making medicines and remedies from herbs in the 1870’s. He was the Asian equivalent of Gregor Mendel or George Washington Carver.

Dr. Baoyin Chao spent years in the mountains studying the properties of herbs. He applied his knowledge to a practice that included thousands of patients and led to a compilation of an herbal encyclopedia.

Dr. Ted Chao began his company, Dr. Chao Natural Foods, from this very detailed and important book. Based in the US, he utilized his family's herbal heritage, as well as China's 5,000-year-old medical traditions, to create a healthy, consumable line. Dr. Chao also transformed herbal-based recipes into a liquid form, which can be consumed in eight-ounce, flip-top, recyclable cans.

Dr. Chao’s herbal beverages provide a healthy alternative to sodas, juices and energy drinks that often contain soaring levels of sugar, caffeine, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and other toxic additives. Dr. Chao’s line is 100% natural, made with potent botanical ingredients from Asia and around the world.

Dr. Chao’s master plan is to bring the wisdom of the East to the West, in the shape of healthy soft drinks that can replace sugary, syrupy sodas. This great-great-grandson of a venerable Chinese herbal doctor hopes that his herbal ambrosia will have a global effect, much like the introduction of the ancient Chinese science of acupuncture effected healing practices in the Western world. If, as Ben Franklin observed, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," then as far as Dr. Ted Chao is concerned, the Dr. Chao Herbal Drink line provides eight herbal ounces of preventive healthcare per can.
