Tea ceremonies and healing tea blends in Hallandale Beach: what the practice lists and what to settle before you book

What the studio publishes about its two tea offerings, what federal guidance says about tea, herb interactions and supplement rules, and the questions worth asking first

Two tea offerings at South Florida Qigong come with no published price and no ingredient list. The homepage, reviewed on 2026-11-09, describes tea ceremonies as "a conscious, meditative practice" available as private or group sessions, and healing teas as "personalized wellness tea blends crafted from legal herbs and flowers, based on your unique constitution." Neither description names a plant, a quantity, or a way of preparing the cup. A reader has to ask for the details that matter most for a first booking.

The site lists Chi Gong massage at $100 an hour, but neither tea service has a price. Booking runs through a WhatsApp message, with the provider confirming availability, and sessions are listed daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM at 1117 E Hallandale Beach Blvd Suite 3, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009. For what to wear or bring, the FAQ advises comfortable clothing and arriving a few minutes early, and for tea ceremonies, "just bring yourself." The FAQ also states that "Private sessions, group classes, and wellness event collaborations are available." These details were read on 2026-11-09 and can change, so reconfirm them when you book. The page does not give the composition of a blend. It also does not say whether a blend is sold in a packet labeled as a dietary supplement or only poured as a drink.

What the word tea covers in the research

NCCIH's page on tea notes that green, black, oolong and white tea all come from one plant, Camellia sinensis, prepared in different ways, and that herbal teas are made from plants other than Camellia sinensis. A personalized blend of herbs and flowers is, on the practice's own description, an herbal tea, so studies of green and black tea describe a different drink from the one a reader would be handed.

The homepage does not say whether a blend ever includes tea leaf alongside the herbs and flowers. Anyone who keeps track of what they drink for health reasons can ask whether any Camellia sinensis goes into the cup.

What the tea studies cover

NCCIH notes that tea is usually brewed and drunk as a beverage, while green tea extracts are also sold in capsules and sometimes used in skin products. Research on tea therefore spans products that differ in form and in how much of the plant a person takes in.

Those studies concern a named plant in named forms. The plants and amounts in a custom blend are not published, so a reader has no way to match the blend to any studied product.

Where herbs meet medicines

NCCIH's six tips on herb and medicine interactions begin with the general point that medicines and supplements may interact in harmful ways. Some supplements can decrease the effects of medicines, while others can increase them, including unwanted side effects. For many medicines and supplements there is currently little information on possible interactions, and more research is needed.

NCCIH's clinical digest on herb-drug interactions lists drug interactions, direct toxicities and contamination with active pharmaceutical agents among the safety concerns about dietary and herbal supplements. It notes a widespread public perception that herbs and botanical products in supplements are safe, while research has shown that these products carry the same dangers as other pharmacologically active compounds. Interactions may occur between prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements and even small molecules in food, which the digest calls a daunting challenge for identifying every interaction of clinical concern.

For a tea drinker the practical question is which plants are in the blend, at what strength, and how often it is taken. A brewed cup and a concentrated extract in a capsule are different exposures, and the homepage gives neither the plants nor the amounts.

How a tea blend is regulated

The FDA's answers for consumers on dietary supplements cover how supplements are regulated, the information that must be disclosed on the label, new dietary ingredients, and safety issues. NCCIH's guide to using dietary supplements wisely covers safety, regulations and research for people who use supplements. Both are a reasonable place to read up before asking about a blend.

A packet labeled as a dietary supplement would carry the label disclosures FDA describes, and its listed ingredients could be checked against them. The homepage does not say whether any blend is sold that way or only served in a session, so that is worth asking before relying on a label that may not exist.

Questions to settle before you book

Ask these in the WhatsApp message, since the page does not answer them.

• Which herbs and flowers are in the blend, and what quantity goes into one cup.
• Whether the blend is prepared with a fixed recipe or adjusted per person, and whether any Camellia sinensis tea leaf is in the cup.
• Whether a packaged blend is sold with an ingredient label as a dietary supplement, or served only as a drink.
• Whether the practitioner will work alongside your prescriptions, and whether to bring a written list of the medicines and supplements you take, with doses and how often you take them.
• Whether a tea ceremony involves drinking the tea, how many infusions are served, and how long the session runs.
• The rate for private and for group sessions, both listed without a price.
• Where the session takes place. The FAQ gives the Hallandale Beach studio address, and the site's structured data ties the name Feeling Free Space, used on its Instagram account, to that same Hallandale Beach studio.
• For an event collaboration, what the practice provides and what the host venue supplies.

Anyone who is pregnant or nursing, takes prescription medicines, has had a reaction to an herb before, or is booking for a child should raise it with a clinician or pharmacist before the first cup.

What a ceremony offers a first-time visitor

The practice describes its tea ceremonies as traditional ceremonies held as a conscious, meditative practice, offered privately or in a group. The page stops there and does not describe what happens during a session. Neither tea listing names a health outcome. The only service on the page described with a stated health outcome is fire massage, listed as a technique "for circulation and deep relaxation."

Wait for the rate and the session format before you go. For the blend, ask which plants and how much, then take the answer to a pharmacist along with your medication list and decide after that.
