Clematis is anti-inflammatory, normally used for joint pain and stiffness (rheumatism), headaches, varicose veins, gout, bone disorders, ongoing skin conditions, and fluid retention. Cuttlefish bone is astringent (absorbs excess fluid) that stops leucorrhea (vaginal discharge), uterine bleeding, nocturnal emission, and premature ejaculation from kidney deficiency. In this formula it controls acidity and alleviates stomach pain, distasteful belching, acid reflux, and stops diarrhea due to kidney deficiency or dysentery with cramps.  Herbs for digestive discomforts in the formula include corydalis known to Chinese herbalists as a calming painkiller herb sometimes given post surgery to ease tensions. The final garden herb in Digestive Comfort Tea is holly bark jiu bi ying (Cortex Ilicis rotundae).  Chinese herbals describe the bark as bitter, cold; entering the lung, stomach, large intestine and liver meridians. Its actions are to clear heat and remove toxicity and alleviate pain. It has been used for rheumatic arthritis, traumatic injury, sores and boils, sore throat, diarrhea due to damp-heat, abdominal distension, and fever due to digestive disturbance.  Ingredients:  Spica Prunellae, Herba Equiseti Hiemalis, Mint, Clematis Root, licorice root, Radix Codonopsis, Sepiae Endoconcha, Corydalis Rhizoma, White peony root, Dandelion, Ilicis Rotundae Cortex Directions: Add six bowls of water. Boil six bowls of water into one bowl, then filter and take the soup.  The amount of water is a key point because it can directly affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, so if cooking the herbal soup according to the guidelines, the best results will be achieved. Suggestions: The cleansing herbs in this formula are rather bitter. The traditional way to prepare them is to make a strong water extract. “五碗水煎至一碗 Boil five bowls of water to one.” However, we suggest that you gradually get used to their healing benefits: Simmer the herbs in water for 20 minutes. Steam your face to help prevent skin blemishes and inhale the aroma. Let it cool somewhat and drink a small cup. It may taste better cold or with a little lemon. Cook it a second time for  45 minutes to one hour and drink a small cup before meals as needed to ease digestion. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you are creative you might make ice cubes from the liquid and add them to a Bloody Mary instead of bitters.  Please consult your physician before using this product.

Anxiety may be a causative factor in miscarriage especially with first-time mothers. Pregnancy Protection has added magnolia bark to improve sleep and ease stress and anxiety.

However, if you are new to Chinese herbs, you may find their smell to be strong and the taste rather bitter sweet. We suggest that you become acquainted with them gradually. Empty the package of herbs into – quarts of water and simmer them for up to 30 minutes. A non-metal pot works best. If you have it use a ceramic coated or glass pot. The same herbs may be used again, the second cooking can be as long as 1 hour. Inhale the steam to get acquainted with the herbs. They may help clear congestion and feel relaxing. Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortably warm. Drink up to a cup once or twice daily between meals.  Please consult your physician before using this product.
