Description:

The famous formula of the even more famous Chinese medicine classic Zhang Zhong Jing from 220 A.D. Primarily intended for cold blocking the uterus, today this indication has shifted more to empty cold from deficiency of the Yang Kidney and blood. And the inner cold often attracts the outer cold as well. But what is most important for its use is the pain in the lower abdomen (and back, lower limbs) caused by the cold, i.e., relieved by the application of heat. Insufficient blood contributes to the pain, which, together with the cold, is the cause of the blockages. Imagine a river in which there is little water as its flow stops. This insufficiency of blood can be so great that it becomes a Yin insufficiency and an empty heat in the upper body, the typical symptom being a dry mouth and dry lips in the morning.

The mixture will replenish the blood and Yin, cool the pathological heat, dissipate the cold and warm, and above all - stop the pain. These mechanisms will simultaneously replenish and regulate the Chong and Ren Mai pathways, whose proper function is also necessary for pregnancy.
