163 SHOU WU WAN – Secret of the Raven Braid

Herbal formula based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles

This traditional herbal formula is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is associated with nourishing Blood (血 xuè), Kidney Essence (肾精 shèn jīng), and supporting overall vitality.

In TCM, the quality, density, and natural color of the hair are closely connected with the condition of the Liver and Kidneys. Classical texts describe hair as “the surplus of Blood” (发为血之余 fà wéi xuè zhī yú), meaning that its condition reflects the body’s nourishment and internal balance.

The formula contains herbal ingredients traditionally associated with nourishing Blood, harmonizing its circulation, and supporting long-term vitality.

TCM Characteristics

Within Traditional Chinese Medicine, the formula is associated with:

• nourishing Blood and Essence (养血补精 yǎng xuè bǔ jīng)

• harmonizing Blood circulation (活血 huó xuè)

• supporting hair vitality (养发 yǎng fà)

• supporting Yin nourishment (滋阴 zī yīn)

Traditional Formula Principle

The main ingredient of the formula is:

• He Shou Wu 何首乌 (Polygonum multiflorum) – traditionally associated with nourishing Blood and Essence, supporting vitality, and caring for the hair

Traditionally, the herb is prepared by steaming or cooking in wine, giving it a deeper and more nourishing character.

In TCM, this reflects the principle: nourish the root so vitality may manifest outwardly.

Traditional Use

In TCM terminology, the formula is used in patterns associated with deficiency of Blood and Essence.

These patterns may traditionally be associated with manifestations such as:

• hair loss

• premature greying

• dry and weakened hair

• brittle nails

• chronic fatigue and exhaustion

These descriptions are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and do not represent modern medical diagnoses.

Note

In traditional Chinese culture, thick, dark, and glossy hair was considered a sign of strong vitality and abundant Kidney Essence.

Just as a well-aged dark tea develops depth and character over time, TCM views the condition of the hair as a reflection of long-term nourishment and internal balance.

The formula is traditionally combined with scalp care and a balanced lifestyle.

Dosage

Typically 8–12 pills, 3 times daily. Traditionally, effects may be observed after 1–2 months of regular use.
