Another Gem from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ji Xue Teng is best known for its use to invigorate and tonify the blood and its action on the the Liver, Kidney, and Heart meridians according to TCM Theory.
More specifically, Ji Xue Teng is used to:
- Promotes Blood Circulation: It is frequently used to treat conditions caused by "blood stasis," such as irregular menstruation, menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), or amenorrhea.
- Nourishes the Blood: Unlike many other blood-moving herbs that can be taxing on the body, Ji Xue Teng is unique because it also tonifies (strengthens) the blood. This makes it suitable for individuals with blood deficiency.
- Relaxes Sinews & Unblocks Channels: It is often prescribed for numbness in the limbs, joint pain, or weakness in the lower back and knees, especially when these issues are linked to poor circulation or deficiency.
This is herb exhibits benefit in its various available forms, powder, tea, capsule and tincture. Shen's unique tinctures follow ancient, traditional methods providing for the best extraction of herbal medicinal substances without the use of harsh processing, such as pressing, heating, or use of chemical extractors. This results in the purest herbal tinctures with the highest potency and provides for the best absorption, highest bioavailability. At Shen, we don't force extraction, we naturally facilitate it, just as the ancients taught.
