A Personal Journey
Vanessa Yan
Founder, Sukina Apothecary
Yale-trained Scientist
I grew up being sick often. I was always prescribed something—antibiotics, supplements, quick fixes—but nothing ever felt like it addressed why my body was struggling in the first place.
As someone trained in science at Yale, I was taught to question, test, and look for root causes—not just temporary relief. When I encountered Traditional Chinese Medicine, I approached it the same way.

Imperial Pharmacopoeia
Each botanical is selected for its proven efficacy in both traditional texts and modern clinical studies. These are the same ingredients used by Chinese empresses to maintain their legendary beauty.
