Formula Description

Dan Shen Yin is a 3-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Red Sage Roots (Dan Shen) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1801 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that invigorate Blood and dispel Blood Stagnation. Its main actions are: 1) invigorates the Blood and removes Blood Stagnation and 2) promote Qi movement .

 

In Chinese Medicine health conditions are thought to arise due to "disharmonies" in the body as a system. These disharmonies are called "patterns" and the very purpose of herbal formulas is to fight them in order to restore the body's harmony.

 

In this case Dan Shen Yin is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Blood Stagnation or Qi And Blood Stagnation. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as angina pectoris, hepatitis or pancreatitis for instance.
