Ejiao (阿胶) — a traditional Chinese medicinal product made from donkey-hide gelatin — has been revered for centuries across Asia for its purported ability to boost energy, nourish blood, and promote overall vitality, especially among women. Now, this ancient tonic is starting to gain traction in New Zealand’s wellness and natural health circles, particularly among those interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), alternative therapies, and holistic living.
In Aotearoa, where the demand for natural supplements and Eastern wellness philosophies continues to grow, Ejiao is increasingly found in TCM clinics, Asian herbal shops, and even among curious Kiwi consumers exploring herbal tonics for energy, hormonal balance, or skin rejuvenation.
While Ejiao is traditionally consumed as a tonic jelly, boiled with rice wine and herbs, it is now also available in modern capsule or powder form, offering flexibility for New Zealanders new to the practice. Some Kiwi naturopaths and integrative doctors are beginning to explore how traditional remedies like Ejiao could complement local herbal approaches, especially for menstrual health, postpartum recovery, and anti-aging support.
However, it's important to note that ethical sourcing and sustainability remain important topics in New Zealand’s natural health landscape. Discussions around animal welfare, conservation, and plant-based alternatives are ongoing as Kiwis weigh the benefits of ancient remedies against modern values.
If you're exploring Chinese medicine in Aotearoa, Ejiao represents a fascinating — and controversial — intersection of history, health, and ethical complexity.
