Diarrhoea Resolve

How it works

Anger Management is based on a Chinese herbal formula called Wen Dan Tang, used to treat disharmony in the body that primarily manifests in behavioural disorders. The formula is particularly useful if the behavioural disorders are accompanied by digestive upset. One of the primary herbs, Caulis Bambusae In Taenia has antibacterial, anti-emetic and expectorant properties, and another, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, is a potent digestive system regulator. Human clinical studies and research have demonstrated positive results in the treatment of vertigo, various psychiatric disorders and epigastric pain.

Traditional understanding

Wen Dan Tang, although suitable for the treatment of anger and other behavioural disorders that most likely stem from an underlying anxiety or fear, is not a sedative formula by any means. The formula addresses a deeper cause, which in this case involves stagnation (a lack of flow in the body, such as may occur from emotional or behavioural suppression), the generation of heat, and a weakening of the digestive system. As is often the case in Chinese medicine, the digestive system is at the core of this pattern, and the behavioural disorders ultimately arise as result of poor digestive function.

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.

How it works

How it works

Sinus Relief is based on a Chinese herbal formula called Cang Er Zi San, used to treat symptoms arising as a result of environmentally triggered rhinitis or sinusitis. It is effective for both acute and chronic conditions involving nasal discharge and sinus pain.

This formula has also been used as an adjunct to the treatment of nasal adenocarcinoma to control nasal discharge. It is also effectively used in horses to treat nasal discharge from rhinopneumonitis and influenza, or the commonly-seen “snotty nose” in young horses.

One of the primary herbs in the formula, Flos Magnoliae, has been shown to have localized astringent, vasodilator and antiphlogistic effects on the nasal mucosa along with a moderate antimicrobial action. The other primary herb, Xanthium fruit, has demonstrated hypoglycaemic, antitussive and mild anti-bacterial actions.

Traditional understanding

Fructus Xanthiii and Flos Magnoliae are frequently combined to unblock the nasal passages. Radix Angelicae Dahuricae and Herba Menthae combine to relieve sinus pain caused by wind, as Radix Angelicae Dahuricae opens the nasal passages, dispels wind and clears pus while Herba Menthae assists to release wind and heat from the surface of the body. Bulbus Allii Fistulosi and Folium Camelliae are added to enhance the overall effects of the formula by adding to the cooling, dispersing and antibacterial nature of the formula.

In TCM, wind is an environmental factor that triggers symptoms affecting the skin, orifices and respiratory tract. Conditions caused by wind are characterized by their rapid onset and tendency to itch, change location or recur seasonally. 

Combinations 

• For chronic or recurrent conditions, combine with: Immunity
• For severe infections, combine Infection Resolve
• For ethmoid haematomas or very stubborn chronic conditions, combine with: Cardiovascular Support 1
