004 CHUAN XIONG CHA TIAO WAN – Pass of the Windy Mountain

Herbal formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine

This traditional herbal formula is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is traditionally associated with the head, eyes, and upper respiratory region.

In TCM terminology, it is used in situations described as external wind affecting the body, disrupting the natural flow of Qi in the upper part of the body and traditionally associated with headache, sensitivity to cold, nasal congestion, or stiffness.

The formula contains a combination of herbs traditionally described in classical texts as supporting the dispersal of wind, releasing the exterior, and clearing the head and eyes.

Specific health effects cannot be claimed according to European Union legislation.

Characteristics according to TCM

This formula is primarily associated with:

• relieving headaches
• clearing the head and eyes
• dispersing wind from the exterior layer
• releasing channels in the upper body

Traditional composition and formula principles

The formula is designed to act on the head and the exterior layer of the body:

• Bo He 薄荷 disperses wind and clears the head and eyes
• Chuan Xiong 川芎 traditionally supports the movement of Qi and Blood in the head, especially the temples and vertex
• Bai Zhi 白芷 acts mainly in the forehead region

Traditional use

In TCM terminology, this formula is used in situations described as headache caused by external wind.

These conditions may traditionally be associated with:

• head or neck discomfort
• chilliness or sensitivity to drafts
• nasal congestion
• stiffness and discomfort in the upper body

These concepts are based on the diagnostic system of TCM and do not represent modern medical diagnoses.

Warning

This formula contains several warm and aromatic herbs and is therefore not suitable for patterns described in TCM as headaches due to Yin or Blood deficiency or rising Liver Yang.

For appropriate traditional use, symptoms should improve with warmth and worsen with cold or drafts.

Persistent or unclear symptoms should always be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.
