Blood Moving for Rest
Dan Shen(Salvia Miltiorrhiza) is a red root highly regarded in traditional Chinese medicine for cardiovascular health and emotional well-being. There’s an old saying: “One herb, Dan Shen, is worth as much as the formula Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction).”
Why so special?
Dan Shen has the unique combination of moving the blood (promoting circulation) and cooling and calming the blood.
Physically:It supports smooth blood circulation in the chest and abdomen, which contributes to a free feeling around the heart.
Mental:It calms the mind (Shen). In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is the seat of the mind. By clearing heat and releasing stagnation around the heart, Dan Shen helps with restlessness, irritability, and sleep problems.
It is a gentle yet effective support for anyone who wants to take care of their heart (literally and figuratively).
