-replenishes the blood of the Liver

-purifies heat from deficiency

-withdraws excessively rising Yang

-stops sweating

Description:

The translation of the Chinese name - "Calm Menopause" tells us what this blend is for. It is a modern patented blend specially formulated for the period when the yin substances in the body gradually decrease (the level of our life essence, as the most yin vital substance, naturally decreases with age) and what cools, moisturizes and nourishes is suddenly missing in the body. When Yin is scarce and not cooling enough, Yang becomes relatively dominant in the body and the so-called deficiency heat or empty heat appears. This is also related to the drop in estrogen levels, which are just characteristic of the Yin (first) phase of the cycle, when the follicle matures and the uterine lining grows. When Yin (essence levels) drop below a critical level - this stops happening and menstruation stops.

For some women, menopause goes smoothly. For others, the empty heat can cause many unpleasant symptoms such as: night and sometimes daytime sweating, hot flashes, heat on the palms, chest and soles of the feet, fatigue, worse memory (the brain is thought of as a sea of marrow that is also fed by Kidney essence), anxiety and fears, dizziness, tinnitus, nervousness and restless sleep (from the heat bothering the Shen spirit).

It is important to stop sweating, as more Yin is lost with it. The combination of pearl mussel shell, clanopraga and sprouted wheat works well here. There are also herbs to replenish the Yin substances, cool the blood and immerse the Yang, which is supposed to rise when the Yin-anchor is deficient (the mixture is very effective in treating menopausal hypertension, for example). We also have beetroot (Xian Mao), which can stabilize fluctuating hormone levels. Pearlwort, Clanoprache and Ophiopogon also directly calm the spirit of Shen, and together with the replenishment of blood and essence, this in turn stabilizes the psyche and emotions.
