Dan Shen Tang (Red Sage/Salvia) - Liquid Extract (Tincture)

Dan Shen Tang- Salvia (Red Sage Root) Liquid Tincture:

Dan Shen Tang- Salvia (Red Sage Root) Liquid Tincture is a liquid decoction of the single herb Dan shen (Salvia milttiorrhiza Bge.- salvia root/red sage root). Dan shen has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to to activate (invigorate) blood circulation and dispel blood stasis to address such symptoms as:

• gynecological disorders characterized by blood stagnation (e.g. amenorrhea and irregular menstruation (often with sharp, stabbing, fixed abdominal pain)) and postpartum abdominal pain;
• chest, epigastric, and abdominal pain characterized by stifling sensations and tightness or constriction that has at its root reduced blood flow to the heart (e.g. congestive heart failure);
• palpable masses in the abdomen as well as enlargement of the liver and spleen (due to blood stasis creating accumulations); and
• traumatic injuries with bruising and swelling.

In modern terms, it lowers blood viscosity and increases perfusion of blood to the vital organs of the body (including the brain, heart, and kidneys) and is used in Chinese hospitals today to promote blood flow and treat vascular disease; it is also combined with Western forms of therapy to address acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks).  This tincture works well as a stand alone supplement, or you can add it to an existing regimen of supplements. Because this herb invigorates blood circulation, it is not for use during pregnancy without the supervision of a trained TCM practitioner. Additionally, it should be used with caution in situations where there is bleeding (e.g. menstruation, nosebleeds, blood in the urine, blood in the sputum etc.).
