Cardiovascular Support 2

How it works  

Cardiovascular Support 2 is based on a Chinese herbal formula called Ge Xia Zhu Yu Tang, used to treat pain and swelling in the region below the diaphragm, fixed abdominal pain, hardness or palpable masses.

It can also be used in the treatment of various abdominal tumours, acute and chronic liver disease, and for the relief of persistent abdominal pain post-surgery.

Traditional understanding

Pain in a fixed-location, or hard, palpable masses are, in Chinese Medicine, a sign of blood stasis. The herbs used have the ability to invigorate blood circulation, dispel this stagnation, and alleviate pain. As the herbs in this formula are primarily working to improve blood circulation, the formula will also elicit benefits on the cardiovascular system as a whole.
