What it is:
Food For The Blood is a powerful herbal blend designed to balance your body’s energy and nourish your blood. Drawing from ancient healing traditions, it combines herbs from Indigenous, African, and Chinese practices. Each ingredient is selected not just for its physical benefits, but also for its ability to support your overall well-being—cleansing, strengthening, and uplifting your body and spirit.
Why we use it:
In TCM, the blood is seen as the carrier of Qi (life force) and Shen (spirit). When the blood is abundant and free-flowing, it nourishes the organs, calms the mind, and cultivates vitality. This blend addresses blood stagnation, supports organ function, and promotes emotional balance, ensuring that both body and spirit thrive in unison.
The Ingredients and Their Energetics:
Burdock Root: Known as Gobo in Japanese medicine, burdock is a powerful blood purifier. It clears heat and toxins, promoting circulation and detoxification. Its earthy nature grounds the spirit and strengthens the kidneys, the source of vitality.
