Are You Ready to Thrive?

In honor of the upcoming holiday, I'm going to introduce you to a set of herbs that are PERFECT for Halloween!

PS - Before you start looking at the formula that your acupuncturist gave you in horror, these herbs are actually very rarely used and are not likely in your formula.

Scorpion, called Quan Xie (pronounced chooahn she-yeh) in Chinese, is used to treat Liver Wind leading to tremors and convulsions (think epilepsy and stroke).

Centipede, called Wu Gong (pronounced woo gong) in Chinese, is also used to treat Liver Wind leading to tremors and convulsions.

Charred Human Hair, called Xue Yu Tan (pronounced shooeh you tahn) in Chinese, is used to stop bleeding.  It's used in extreme cases of bleeding such as coughing or vomiting blood, nosebleeds that won't stop or blood in the urine.

Dried Human Placenta, called Zi He Che (pronounced zuh huh chuh) in Chinese, is actually one of the more commonly used herbs in this list.  It's often used in cases of Post-Partum Depression!

Flying Squirrel Feces, called Wu Ling Zhi (pronounced woo leeng juh) in Chinese, is used to promote the proper circulation of blood to relieve pain. It's most commonly used in cases of severe menstrual cramps with large clots.

Cicada Moultings, called Chan Tui (pronounce chahn tway) in Chinese, is used to treat skin rashes.  What better to treat itchy skin than something that makes you want to scratch all over just thinking about it?

Okay, I think that's enough for today.  Wouldn't want you all to have nightmares!

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
