Five Pagodas Brand Ya-Hom Powder
What Is Ya-Hom Powder?
Ya-hom powder is a traditional Thai herbal formula, and the name itself describes its character: “ya-hom” translates roughly to “fragrant medicine.” Five Pagodas Brand Ya-Hom Powder carries on a formula passed down through generations, blending aromatic herbs and botanicals like agastache (huo xiang), citrus peel, cinnamon bark, Chinese mint, Sichuan lovage root, licorice root, clove, agarwood, and angelica root into a fine, fragrant powder.
Traditionally, people reach for ya-hom powder when feeling run-down, sluggish, or off-balance after a heavy meal. In Thai wellness practice, it is associated with easing everyday queasiness and supporting a settled stomach, and with helping restore a sense of alertness when fatigue sets in.

Origin of Ya-Hom Powder
Ya-hom has deep roots in Thai herbal tradition, dating back to formulas recorded in Thai royal courts centuries ago. Fragrant medicines like this one were reserved for the aristocracy before eventually becoming a household staple across the country.
The original formula was developed and donated to support public health during a period when digestive ailments were widespread. It earned its lasting reputation from there, including a reputation as a remedy soldiers carried with them.

Does ya-hom powder help with bloating or indigestion?
In traditional Thai herbal practice, ya-hom powder has long been used as a household remedy for occasional stomach discomfort and a general feeling of digestive unease after eating. It is used as a traditional wellness aid rather than a treatment for any specific digestive condition.
