Eagle Herbs

Mo Yao (myrrh) shows up in the ancient texts of both the East and the West.

Ingredients:
Pu Huang 蒲黃 cattail pollen, bulrush, typha pollen Pollen Typhae
Pollen is a very potent yang energy. If yang is day and yin is night, then pollen is yang and eggs are yin. This is pollen. Yang is also movement, while yin is stillness. This pollen is very beneficial for sluggish blood circulation.Chuan Xiong 川芎 Sichuan lovage root, cnidium, chuanxiong root Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong
Yan Hu Suo 延胡索 corydalis rhizome Rhizoma Corydalis Yanhusuo, Corydalis Rhizoma
Chi Shao 赤芍 red peony root Radix Peoniae Rubrae
Mo Yao 没藥 myrrh Myrrha
Wu Ling Zhi 五靈脂 flying squirrel feces, pteropus Trogopterori Faeces
Dang Gui 當歸 tangkuei, Chinese angelica root Radix Angelicae Sinensis
All of the above herbs stimulate blood circulation. I note too that Mo Yao (Myrrha, or “myrrh”) is said to be one of the gifts that the baby Jesus was given. While frankincense is not in this formula, it is often teamed up with myrrh in the treatment of tissue trauma. My working theory is that the frankincense and myrrh were for Mary, not for Jesus. Just sayin’. :)

Gan Jiang 乾姜 dried ginger rhizome Zingiberis Rhizoma
Xiao Hui Xiang 小茴香 fennel fruit Foeniculi Fructus
These two herbs are warm in nature and as such stimulate blood movement. Any scientist will tell you that heat equals greater molecular movement. Chinese medicine says much the same thing, that cold impedes movement which then causes pain. So adding warming herbs helps the blood move for abdominal discomfort.
