Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii, herbal recipe in foot soak

We’ve already put together a little bit on our herbal foot soaks. You can read it here. They promote circulation. Soften the fascia of the feet. They also have tremendous effects in treating pain and circulatory issues. To accomplish this, we only use the best herbs and of the best quality possible.

Qiang Huo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii) is an especially precious herb as it was originally designated for the elite of Beijing. Actually, in the last thousand years, if you used it without being a member of the royal family, it was off with your head (yikes)! It has anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal effects (both of which influence pain signaling). Its analgesic effect is perhaps the thing it’s most widely used for, but studies also indicate that it increases blood circulation to the coronary arteries and is useful in the treatment of arrythmia. For the latter effects, it pairs well with the next herb in our formula. 1,2,3 Check out Dr. Ga’r Ma on Qiang Huo.
