Ingredients

Gui Zhi 桂枝 (Saigon) cinnamon twig, cassia twig Ramulus Cinnamomi Cassiae

• Cinnamon twig’s spicy delicious taste stimulates blood flow in the lower abdomen (and chest, actually). Lumps and bumps are often considered a stagnation of blood in Chinese medicine.

Fu Ling 茯苓 sclerotium of tuckahoe, China root, hoelen, Indian bread Poria Cocos

• Blood stagnation is not the only cause of lumps and bumps. “Phlegm stagnation” is essentially extra water that has stagnated and thickened into something preventing the flow of qi and blood in the lower abdomen. This herb (fu ling, or hoelen) is excellent for expelling extra water to address this secondary cause of female problems.

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

• This herb nourishes the “Liver Blood”. When the Liver blood is deficient, it can compromise the functions of the Liver that support the flow of qi and blood. When qi and blood are flowing there is less pain such as you might find with endometriosis or fibroids.

Tao Ren 桃仁 peach kernel, persica Persicae Semen [don’t use if pregnant]

• This is another very potent blood moving herb commonly used to regulate menstrual flow, and by extension female hormones.

Mu Dan Pi 牡丹皮 moutan root bark, tree peony root bark Cortex Moutan Radicis

• The is the bark of the root of the peony tree. It too moves the Liver blood such that it can regulate female hormones and menstrual functions. It isn’t generally thought of a fertility herb, but when everything is balanced and regulated, the outcome would be fertility.

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…]
