Description:

The mixture is based on a combination of peony root and angelica and has been known since the third century, when it was compiled by the famous physician Zhang Zhong-Jing. Its use in both the prevention and treatment of pregnancy complications is therefore confirmed by more than 1.5 millennia of experience. It significantly replenishes the blood and promotes its formation. It is also very effective in relieving lower abdominal pain during pregnancy, or the feeling of pressure in the small pelvis, as well as in relieving premature uterine contractions, or hip pain, so common in pregnancy.

In the mixture, poria and atractylis further improve digestion and digestion by strengthening the Spleen, which is then better able to produce vital substances - Qi and blood - from food. The Frogweed also removes moisture through urination and, together with the Dill, improves blood supply, thus relieving pain and tension in the abdomen and lower abdomen. The blend is also excellent for pregnancy indigestion. It also has a wide range of uses outside of pregnancy, either in preparation for it (it harmonizes the menstrual cycle and the menstruation itself - especially the painful one, promotes ovulation and improves the malfunction of the corpus luteum - it increases the level of progesterone in the second part of the cycle), prevents habitual miscarriage, especially if associated with autoimmune disorders.

Another very interesting modern application of Dang Gui Shao Yao Tang is in the treatment of celiac disease, especially when it is not accompanied by significant symptoms of liver-spleen disharmony or damp heat in the colon. Thus, it is mainly to manage milder complaints such as pain, cramps and pressure in the abdomen and thinner stools from excessive dampness. Adherence to dietary precautions is, of course, a necessity even when taking the mixture.
