Yang Xue Run Fu Yin (Modified Nourish Blood and Skin Decoction)

This is formula is primarily for skin that is itchy and probably dry as well. It is a nice mix of heat clearing and moistening. Herbs like Xuan Shen and Sheng Di both clear heat and generate fluids at the same time. (This is also suitable for cats and dogs.)

(We also offer a Dang Gui free version Dang Gui Free Yang Xue Fu Yin for those who have or have had chemotherapy and taking estrogen medication. Personally I think its very safe but MD oncologists seem to be wary of that herb especially.  It also substitutes Bai Zi Ren for the Tao Ren to more strongly make up for the moistening of Dang Gui.)
