  • Tom's Comment

    1. Chuan Niu Xi strength is to move stagnant blood and treats tendinomuscular problems as a result.
    2. Chuan Niu Xi is not the same as Huai Niu Xi. Although they share similar functions, Huai Niu Xi is more tonifying.
    3. Some texts claim that Chuan Niu Xi can promote menses and is used to treat amenorrhea due to blood stasis.
