109 - Releasing the Flow (Tao Hong Si Wu Tang)

Category:Gynecology, sexuality, fertility, liver system, pain relief


Use of the recipe according to traditional Chinese medicine:

-replenishes blood

-revives the blood and dislodges blood blockages

-stops bleeding and spotting

-regulates menstruation


Description:

Tao Hong Si Wu Tang is one of the most effective blends for regulating menstruation, especially when blockages of blood occur when there is a simultaneous deficiency of blood. This can manifest in an extremely wide range of symptoms from irregular menstruation, imbalance in menstrual strength and length, clots in menstrual blood, spotting or soreness.

Our modification of this famous blend, whose roots go back to the 13th century, can be used in all of these cases, yet it is most effective in conditions called Beng Lou - with Beng meaning that menstruation begins with heavy bleeding, often painful or before term, and Lou referring to the fact that menstruation continues to spot after its "proper" time. The start of the period is often uncertain, with menstruation starting up (sometimes again with a strong flow) and then stopping again, or spotting coming even longer after the period. After a strong start, the blood tends to be dark, clots may form from the beginning, there are pains before and at the beginning of menstruation, or even distension (distention) of the abdomen. Heat may arise from the stagnation of Qi and blockage of blood, which further intensifies menstruation, especially the beginning.

Therefore, our variant blend, in addition to the basic six herbs that replenish and stir the blood, also contains herbs that stir the stagnation of Qi (thus further relieving soreness), stop bleeding and spotting, and clear the heat from stagnation. This harmonizes the menstruation, which stops being painful, is not so strong at the beginning, does not stop, and ends at term. The spotting also stops.

At least three menstrual cycles are needed to regulate such a serious condition, and then we influence the causes (mostly related to the internal organs or vital substances), thus ensuring a smooth course of menstruation without significant unpleasant fluctuations.
