Ingredients

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

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

• These two herbs, used together are often applied to any muscle spasm. In fact, these two herbs can simply be added to existing formulas (that don’t already have them) to expand the benefits of that formula to include muscle spasms.
• If you have high blood pressure, you shouldn’t take this formula at high doses for more than a month as it can aggravate that issue. Click on that “caution” link above.

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…]
