History
Weinsch Muscle Cramping/Spasms Extra Strong is derived from the classical formula Shao Yao Gan Cao Tang, originally recorded in the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage) by Zhang Zhongjing during the Han dynasty. It was traditionally used to relieve acute pain and cramping in the muscles, especially in the legs or abdomen, often due to disharmony between the Liver and Blood. Over time, its applications expanded to include spasms, tension-related pain, and post-illness recovery. The two-herb combination—Bai Shao (White Peony) and Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-Fried Licorice Root)—works synergistically to nourish the Blood, relax sinews, and harmonize the Liver, making it a simple yet powerful solution for various pain and spasm conditions.
