The Radiant Wonder formula A Woman’s Treasure is a modern Chinese formula (developed in the 1950s) called Er Xian Tang. It has been used successfully since in the clinic for the treatment of menopausal mood swings, hot flashes and to protect the body against bone loss (osteoporosis). (Evidence Based Complimentary Alternative Medicine Journal 2012).
Now a team from the University of Hong Kong has conducted controlled clinical studies on this herbal formula. The results are exciting, demonstrating a reduction in menopausal symptoms and clear preventative activity against osteoporosis.
Hot flashes reduce in frequency and severity.
Conclusion for the study with menopausal symptoms: ‘’The Chinese herbal formula Er Xian Tang is superior to placebo in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes and in improving menopausal symptoms in Hong Kong perimenopausal women. It is well tolerated, with no serious adverse events noted during the study period.’’ (Menopause. 2013 Feb 25)

The key elements needed to avoid bone breakdown are increased.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is believed to be associated with ovarian hormone deficiency and is by far the most common cause of age-related bone loss. With the reduction in estrogen levels, there is an increase in bone breakdown relative to bone formation, microarchitectural deterioration, and decreased bone mass. To study the antiosteoporotic activity of Er Xian Tang, a research group from Shanghai China studied the herbal formula and its key constituent, Epimedium herbs (Yin Yang Huo) on rats whose ovaries had been removed.
The study found that Ex Xian Tang emulates estrogen, and significantly contributed to bone density and architecture. The fact that Er Xian Tang is similar to estrogen and exerts a concomitant effect on bone formation and bone reabsorption at the tissue level. Also the Er Xian Tang treatments manifested fewer adverse effects on the uterus, mammary gland, and vagina compared to the standard (Hormone Replacement Therapy) estrogen administrations. Er Xian Tang was found to have superior efficacy and safety profile. (Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2012)

Can Er Xian Tang/ 3 Immortals produce estrogen that feeds q poloyp on the cervix ?
This is not the way herbal formulas work. You are thinking of an herbal formula as if it is a Western derived hormonal treatment.
This would be a wonderful question for our live Q&A’s in The Path. I hope you are in there and can offer this question.

Can Er Xiang Tang is not a big estrogen generator. A Western doctor could see it has Dang Qaui in it and think ‘uh ok estrogen” but WEstern doctors or Web.MD do not understand the sophisticated actions of a formula. This is a team of herbs working together to help many issues. Herbs are in there to counteract negative side effects like “feeding the growth f a polyp. Are you often feeling colder than your friends? It could be that there is slow circulation of blood and energy there. Cold makes energy move mover slowly and can allow things to start growing. Very famous and very balanced formula. Good question. Smart question. Sorry so long to answer. We are a bit overwhelmed by all the activity as we are growing and don’t always see comments on blog posts. 🙂 Amanda
