| Are you suffering from excess body stress and tension? You may have a lower yang imbalance, which can be associated with stress and tension in the blood and body. Eucommia Combination (du zhong pian) is a unique Chinese formula recommended to nourish qi, pacify lower yang, clear heat and calm the spirit - leading to better physical health. Packaging: 100 tablets Recommended Dosage: 5 tablets, 3 times per day The Chinese believe that there should be a balance in the body between yin (internal fluids) and yang (fire of life). Yin and yang are equal and opposing forces that should be in harmony for optimal health. When either yin or yang becomes too dominant (or deficient), negative health symptoms can result. As we age, many individuals experience a normal yang essence imbalance, which can lead to normal aging symptoms such as weak bones or muscles, tissue discomfort, stiffness and poor circulation. Du Zhong Pian, also known as "Eucommia Combination", has been used by countless Chinese individuals to bring their yang into balance and calm the spirit, leading to less stress and better overall health. The main ingredient in Du Zhong Pian, or "Eucommia Combination", is eucommia bark. Eucommia bark comes from the eucommia, or hardy rubber tree. The tree is a member of the rubber family and is found in the Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hubei provinces of China. Mature trees can reach a height of 50 feet; however, the tree is not killed to obtain the bark. Instead, small patches are peeled away from mature trees in the late summer and early autumn. The inner bark contains a white, rubbery liquid that accounts for eucommia's herbal properties. In traditional Chinese medicine, eucommia bark has sweet, warm properties. It is considered the primary herb used to increase yang functions in the body. Eucommia Combination uses eucommia bark as the main ingredient to rebalance vital yang, and also has other key herbal ingredients which restore yin essence, leading to an overall balancing, body-strengthening formula. Eucommia Combination has also been known to promote calming properties which help reduce body stress and tension and maintain normal blood pressure and circulation. This formula is often used by those undergoing Western hypertension treatments (note that this formula is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease). The herbs in Eucommia Combination support and stabilize the blood and circulation by balancing Kidney and Liver energy. This formula is recommended as part of a multi-layered approach including cardiovascular exercise, dietary changes, stress reduction techniques and regular consultation with your physician.
