Description:
Traditional Chinese medicine teaches that Qi energy flows through the body. It flows in pathways called meridians. Occasionally a pathway becomes blocked and the person perceives this blockage as pain. There are certain places, such as the cervical spine, where the pathways are naturally narrowed, and these areas tend to get blocked more easily. Blockages can be caused by a lot of strain on the affected area, prolonged overuse, injury, working at a computer, etc. Or by the invasion of an external pathogen, which is the cause of a 'frozen shoulder', for example.
The herbs in this blend can release blockages in the cervical spine, neck muscles and shoulders.
Indications:
-acute upper back pain (cervical spine, trapezius, shoulders)
-chronic upper back pain (cervical spine, trapezius, shoulders)
-stiffness of the cervical spine or upper back
-impaired mobility of the affected area
-inability to turn the head

-cervicobrachial syndrome
-periarthritis of the shoulder
-bursitis of the shoulder
-tendonitis of the shoulder
