Ingredients
Dang Gui 當歸 tangkuei, Chinese angelica root Radix Angelicae Sinensis [supports pregnancy ]
Dang gui is probably the most famous of all herbs associated with women’s health. However dang gui can be used to promote blood healthy circulation for men as well. Women get the added benefit of its blood nourishing properties. Western medicine looks to hormonal regulation to explain dang gui’s actions.
Chuan Xiong 川芎 Sichuan lovage root, cnidium, chuanxiong root Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong
Chuang xiong is a spicy little number that moves the blood. In a way, this herb acts a little bit like baby asprin in keeping the blood unstuck and flowing well through the vessels.
Bai Shao 白芍 white peony root, peony Paeoniae Radix alba [supports pregnancy ]
Bai shao’s properties of nourishing the blood also serve to regulate the so-called “liver qi” which could be described as having a calming influence.
Shu Di Huang 熟地黄 cooked rehmannia root, prepared Chinese foxglove root Rehmanniae Radix preparata [supports pregnancy ]
Shu di huang is a thick black herb that grows deep into the ground. This depth of root means that it can serve to nourish very deeply. In Chinese medicine, the “blood” is considered the deepest of the levels of the body.
Tao Ren 桃仁 peach kernel, persica Persicae Semen [don’t use if pregnant ]
Hong Hua 紅花 safflower flower, carthamus Carthami Flos [don’t use if pregnant ]
Tao ren is commonly teamed up with Hong Hua. They both assist the blood moving functions of the other four herbs in this formula to stimulate the cardiovascular system, regulate the hormonal system, and stimulate movement of blood in the microcapillaries to keep your skin and body youthful and supple.
