Our Journey Starts With a Imperial Healer​

Over a century ago, Dani’s great-grandfather served as a trusted Imperial Physician to Empress Dowager Cixi of China. His specialty? Crafting gentle, powerful herbal remedies—blended from rare plants, tested through decades of royal care, and written down in a handbound notebook that became his most precious possession.​Then, as war swept through China in the late 1800s, he made a desperate choice: to protect his family’s healing legacy. He tucked the leather-bound recipe book into his suitcase, boarded a ship to America, and settled in a small Chinatown attic in New York. For decades, he quietly shared his remedies with fellow immigrants, never letting the ancient wisdom fade.​Dani: Raised Between Two Worlds​Dani grew up in the U.S., but her childhood was filled with the scent of dried herbs and her great-grandfather’s stories. “This isn’t just medicine,” he’d say, pointing to the notebook’s faded characters, “it’s a promise—to help people feel whole.” As a kid, she’d sit on his lap, watching him grind licorice root and brew chrysanthemum tea, not yet understanding the weight of what he was passing on.​When Dani turned 21, her great-grandfather pressed the notebook into her hands. “Now it’s your turn to keep the promise,” he said. That day, she vowed to do more than preserve the past—she wanted to grow it.​Traveling the Globe to Perfect NXQ​To honor the (mìfāng, “secret formula”) and make it work for modern lives, Dani set off on a 5-year journey across the world:​

• In India, she learned Ayurvedic principles of balancing herbs with the body’s needs.​
• In the Mediterranean, she studied olive leaf extracts and their natural benefits.​
• In South America, she worked with local healers to understand how maca and coca leaves support wellness.​

Every stop, she compared global healing traditions to her great-grandfather’s recipes, blending East and West like pieces of a puzzle. Back in the U.S., she partnered with natural science labs to test each ingredient—ensuring safety, potency, and that the remedies fit busy American lifestyles.​After 127 iterations, NXQ was born: a line of products that carries the soul of her great-grandfather’s imperial formulas, refined with global wisdom.​We’re Still Exploring​Today, Dani’s work isn’t done. She still travels to remote herb farms, talks to customers about their needs, and tweaks NXQ formulas to keep up with new science. For her, this isn’t just a business—it’s continuing the promise her great-grandfather made over 100 years ago: to bring healing, rooted in tradition, to people everywhere.​Every bottle of NXQ is a piece of that legacy—from a Chinese imperial palace to your home.
