Herbal Prescriptions

Do you have the following issues??

  1. Frequently forgetting things, and forgetting what you needed to do just a moment ago
  2. Always feeling tired and wanting to sleep, relying only on coffee to boost your energy?
  3. Even though it’s summer, your hands and feet are always cold.
Today’s shared remedy is formulated based on the principle of the Five Elements’ mutual generation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It mainly works between Water, Wood, and Fire elements. By using the concept of mutual generation, it supplements the kidneys to promote circulation, which can significantly improve overall health and effectively address the three issues mentioned above.
Using single Chinese herbs has its limitations. One limitation is that single herbs may not have enough potency or may not fully meet the needs of the condition. To address this deficiency, ‘herb pairs’ can enhance effectiveness, providing a synergistic effect where 1+1>2.
This formula uses one of the Nine Great Immortal Herbs, ‘Kuanhua Cistanche,’ and is specially combined with two pairs of herbs to enhance the overall effect even further!

Kuanhua Cistanche:Supports kidney function and enhances Yang, benefits essence and blood. It can regulate the circulatory system, dilate blood vessels, and reduce vascular resistance.

Earth yellow + Wolfberry: The ‘Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang’ is a herbal formula composed of a synergistic pair of herbs. When combined, these herbs provide a twofold benefit by nourishing and warming the liver and kidneys. This formula is highly effective in treating conditions of liver and kidney deficiency.

Astragalus + Kudzu root: The ‘Yi Lue Liu Shu’ formula is a combination of herbs that work synergistically to tonify and lift qi. It is particularly effective in treating conditions characterized by qi deficiency and downward sinking of qi.

Schisandra chinensis tonifies the kidneys and strengthens yang, while rehmannia and goji berry nourish both the liver and kidneys, thereby replenishing both essence and blood. Finally, astragalus and kudzu root tonify and lift qi, allowing the essence and blood within the body to circulate throughout the body with the impetus of qi, enhancing circulation and efficacy, and ultimately achieving the effect of strengthening the body.
Ancient texts describe Schisandra chinensis as a superior herbal medicine, often referred to as the ‘Black Commander’. It is a gentle yet potent tonic that can ‘command’ other herbs to achieve better results.

Recent research has shown that there are four great benefits:

  • A 2019 journal study showed that Schisandra chinensis has vasodilatory, hepatoprotective, and glucose tolerance-enhancing effects.
  • A 2019 journal study showed that Schisandra chinensis exhibits anti-Alzheimer’s disease effects by inhibiting the aggregation of amyloid-β peptides in the brain.
  • A 2018 study demonstrated the potential of Schisandra chinensis in mitigating retinal damage induced by blue light-emitting diodes.
  • A 2018 study showed that Schisandra chinensis can alleviate depression by improving gut microbiota balance.

Target group

Exhibits vasodilatory properties: Indicated for the treatment of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases.

Hepatoprotective effects: By regulating tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), it can improve liver damage caused by hepatitis C virus, liver cancer, or excessive alcohol consumption leading to fatty liver or cirrhosis.
