Description:

A great tonic with a wide range of uses. The basic 16th century Ba Zhen Tang formula is extremely popular in China - it replenishes blood and Qi for menstrual cycle or fertility problems, used after childbirth, surgery, radiation, or as a basic tonic for people exhausted by hard work or long illness. This manifests itself in fatigue and exhaustion, dry skin and hair, pale skin, brittle nails. Dizziness, weakened concentration and memory. Women are troubled by absent, weak or irregular menstruation, which may alternate with stronger cycles, and have fertility problems. Anemia (anemia) is common, heart palpitations are common, and everything is harder to heal. After childbirth, with lack of blood, there is little breast milk, hair falls out.

The blend combines two basic formulas for replenishing blood (Si Wu Tang) and Qi (Si Jun Zi Tang - each has four herbs, hence Ba Zhen - eight pearls) and its author was inspired by an even older blend - Shi Quan Da Bu Tang from the 12th century, which also contained valerian and cinnamon. And our modification of Ba Zhen Tang is inspired by that too: it adds even more Qi due to the dynamic influence of valerian (moreover, its ability to lead upwards makes it extremely important in supporting our defensive energy - i.e. immunity). And that's not all - the Prostrate clears the Liver so that all vital substances can flow better as well. This is also aided by the herbs that warm the Kidney Yang. Sage helps to further stir the blood, which, along with polygala, also calms the Shen spirit. Fennel connects the pre- and post-Heavenly sources, the Spleen and Kidney, and is therefore also said to prolong life.
