A Woman's Treasure is a special formula that helps balance the body when there is an imbalance between Yin and Yang energies. How do you know if there is an imbalance? A common sign is if your body often alternates between being too hot and being too cold. Or if you experience these sensations simultaneously, i.e. you are sweating but have cold hands and feet. Some people can even sweat and shiver at the same time!
A Woman's Treasure is especially designed to balance these contradictory energies. It can be very valuable in two stages of your life--the time you want to get pregnant, and the time when your body is making the transition into your golden years.
Modern medicine would identify your condition as an imbalance of hormones. Traditional Chinese Herbalism will identify it as an imbalance of energies. Hormones are something you feel you cannot manage. If you can balance these energies you will find that your hormones are also balancing. Nourish the body and let it find balance.
A Woman's Treasure in Your Fertile Years:
If you want to increase your fertility, it is very important to have a strong digestive system, to have high quality blood, and to have a regular and steady feeling of warmth. If you suffer from swings of feeling hot, as in hot flashes, and then feeling cold, especially in the feet, this formula may be perfect for you.
A Woman's Treasure in Your Transition Years:
During your body's transition from having regular menses to menarche (lack of a period), it is good to nutritionally support the hormonal changes to help the transition be smooth and symptomless. There are products to help you if your only symptoms are hot flashes and/or mood swings, such as Transition #1 or Super Nourishing. These products support Yin deficiency.
However, if you are generally cold natured, yet you are getting power surges or hot flashes, this is not just Yin Deficiency, it is also Yang Deficiency. Yang is considered the fire of life. It is warmth. If you are lacking Yang energy, you feel cold. In this case, it is important to take warming Yang-quality herbs. Taking herbs to build back the Yin alone is not enough you also need to warm the body. However you must be careful!
You can understand why this is a delicate balancing. If the warming herbs you use are too hot, you'll experience more hot flashes! This is why this very gentle, very sophisticated formula is so amazing. A Woman's Treasure is able to warm you without overheating you, while building back the Yin so the hot flashes can disappear.
Recommended Dose: 2 capsules twice a day.
Ingredients:
Epimedium, herb, Curculigia, Morinda root, Dong Quai, root, Anemarrhena, Phellodendron bark
Ingredients in Detail:
Epimedium, herb: Epimedium is a very powerful physical energy, or Yang, Super Herb. Epimedium is a very unusual plant. Translated from the Chinese, it means “horny goat weed.” It is most famous for, and most commonly used for, stimulating the sex drive -- in men and women. That is why we use it in so many formulas for sexual vitality: Power Up!, Love Goddess Elixir, Men’s Virility Formula, Super Fertility Formulas Phase I and II, Fertile Male. Many scientific studies in China, Japan and Korea have shown that Epimedium does increase sexual activity. It stimulates the sensory nerves throughout the body, and in particular in the genital region. It will not increase the blood pressure if it is normal, will lower blood pressure if it is too high, and will increase it in those whose blood pressure is too low if combined with Ginseng. Epimedium is listed in the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences as one of an elite group of herbs that slow aging and promote longevity. Recent studies have confirmed that Epimedium supports the immune functions of healthy people and significantly enhances the immune systems of those who are immune deficient. Epimedium is a remarkable herb -- it relaxes, yet is sexually invigorating. It is safe and is an incredible health promoter for those concerned about their immune and cardiovascular systems.
Curculigia: Curculigia root has an English translation of “Immortal Grass.” It tonifies the kidneys and fortifies the yang. It is used in formulas to overcome impotence, urinary incontinence, and noctural emission from deficient kidney yang. Curculigia root is also used for infertility from either cold womb in women or cold essence in men. It also expels cold and elminates dampness for obstinate damp-cold painful obstruction with generalized pain, a sense of weakness and pain in the lower back and legs.
Morinda root: Morinda is an excellent physical energy herb. It is highly nutritious and is used in Super Herb Formulas for strengthening the body. It is often used, as is the case with Men's Sexual Vitality, to increase sexual energy. It is also used to increase mental ability. It is a major longevity herb that has many health benefits.
Dong Quai, root: Dong Quai (pronounced "Dong guWAY") is one of the most widely used herbs in the World. If Ginseng is known as the “king” of Chinese herbs, Dong Quai is the “queen”. It is commonly used as a potent and effective blood builder.
Used by men and women alike, Dong Quai is super nourishment for the blood. It also helps regulate blood circulation. It is often used by body builders. It is famous as a woman's herb because of its ability to help balance the menstrual cycle, hormones and eliminate anemia. Scientific research demonstrates that Dong Quai regulates uterine function. It has a mild sedative and smoothing effect on nervous disorders and excessive emotional problems. Dong Quai is often used to balance gynecological problems: amenorrhea (no menstruation), infertility, PMS, and menopausal difficulties. Formulas with Dong Quai are extremely effective and are completely safe. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and prevents degeneration of the reproductive system. It is used in many youth preserving formulas. We also use Dong Quai in our beauty formulas. It has been found to be very beneficial to the complexion by improving circulation in the skin and detoxifying the skin. It is used in formulas that are designed to detoxify the skin and is used to clear blemishes and to treat eczema, rosacea, neurodermatitis, vitiligo, pigment diseases and a host of other skin problems.
Dong Quai is rich in vitamins B 12, folic acid, foinic acid, nicotinic acid and biotin. Dong Quai contains Cobalt, an important mineral that, in conjunction with B 12, enriches the blood. Studies have shown that B 12 without Cobalt loses its hematonic (blood building) effects. Dong Quai not only has demonstrated the ability to generate red blood cells and hemoglobin. For the Chinese Herbalist these qualities also make Dong Quai a key ingredient to any formula that nourishes the hair and the nails.
Dong Quai also has demonstrated an ability to balance blood flow of the coronary artery, and help eliminate free radicals, making it a superior anti-aging herb.
Anemarrhena: Anemarrhena contains triterpenoid saponins. Anemarrhena clears heat and promotes yin fluids which cool internal body heat. It has been used for thousands of years for clearing excess heat such as hot flashes, fever, night sweats and coughs. It is very useful in formulas that are designed for reducing body heat, irritability, insomnia and even chronic bronchitis.
Phellodendron bark: Phellodendron cools heat from the lower part of the body, especially the kidneys. Some of the constituents of Phellodendron are isoquinoline alkaloids, sesquiterpene lactones and plant sterols. Due to its alkaloid content, Phellodendron is antimicrobial and antibiotic. Phellodrendron should not be used during pregnancy.
