Plum Flower - Peony and Licorice Teapills (Shao Yao Gan Cao Wan)

What is it?

Plum Flower - Peony and Licorice Teapills (Shao Yao Gan Cao Wan) is a Chinese Herbal Medicine formula that moves qi and blood in the Liver and Gallbladder channels (so: elements of Liver qi stagnation pattern). It is used to address a variety of pain presentations, to include:

• Chronic spasms and cramping of the calf and leg muscles**
• Abdominal cramping
• Painful menstruation

  ** Ed. note: For myself I also use a good-quality magnesuim supplement when my calves cramp up (periodically)... just remember not to overdo it because too much magnesium will cause soft stools --> loose stools.
