Graceful Branches, 1 oz

In the practice of acupuncture we often see patients who, close to the age of forty, suffer from wrist difficulties (such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and many others who, around the age of fifty, experience "frozen shoulder." The common modern lifestyle of sedentary jobs and poor diet leads to Qi deficiency and Blood stasis, causing limbs and joints to lose their flexibility. Historically, Chinese medical texts refer to a physical phenomenon called "Forty-year-old wrists and fifty-year-old shoulders." Graceful Branches addresses this phenomenon, as well as generalized limited joint mobility, or muscular pain and spasm in the neck/shoulders, joints, and limbs. The delicate balance between Protective (Wei) Qi and Nutritive (Ying) Qi is also pivotal in maintaining suppleness and the ability to withstand exposure to the elements. (Kan Herb Company)
