  • How it works

    How it works

    Open the Vessels is based on a Chinese herbal formula called Xiao Huo Luo Dan Wan, used primarily to treat pain. This formula has demonstrated analgesic and sedative properties. Human clinical studies and research have shown positive results in the treatment of arthritis, sciatic pain and soft tissue injuries.

    Traditional Understanding

    When wind, cold or dampness block the smooth flow of oxygen to the bodies tissues and joints, pain can result. This formula is especially useful for aches and pains that worsen in response to windy, cold or damp weather patterns, or migratory pain of a non-specific location.
