Description:

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that Qi energy flows through the body. It flows in pathways called meridians. Sometimes a pathway becomes blocked, and a person perceives this blockage as pain. There are certain areas, such as the cervical spine, where pathways are naturally narrower, and these areas are more prone to blockages. Blockages can arise from great strain on the affected area, long-term overloading, injury, working at a computer, etc. Or they can be caused by the invasion of an external pathogen, which is, for example, the cause of a "frozen shoulder".

The herbs in this mixture can release blockages in the area of the cervical spine, neck muscles, and shoulders.
