Ingredients

Chai Hu 柴胡 hare’s ear root, thorowax root, bupleurum Radix Bupleuri [caution]

Bai Shao 白芍 white peony root, peony Paeoniae Radix alba [supports pregnancy]

• These two herbs “spread the Liver qi (chai hu) and nourish the Liver (bai shao)” They’re often used together to harmonize the functions of the nervous system. As the name of this formula implies, it is for cold hands and feet. When the nervous system is harmonious (dare I say, less “nervous”), the blood can better circulate to the hands and feet.

Zhi Shi 枳實 unripe bitter orange, chih-shih Aurantii Fructus immaturus [use caution if pregnant]

• This herb also helps with qi movement, but it is mostly focused on the abdomen for intestinal movements.

Zhi Gan Cao 炙甘草 licorice root Radix Glycyrrhizae prep. [caution]

• This herb helps soften the harsh properties of the other herbs in this formula to prevent side-effects.

This formula can be used to support health with or without symptoms. If symptoms are present, take 1 level teaspoon of the powder (8 capsules) three times daily. When symptoms are not present, take 1/2 level teaspoon (4 capsules), two times daily. Empty stomach is best for efficient absorption, but not essential. [More...]
