In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this pattern is traditionally referred to as blood stasis, and this formula combines three classic circulation-supporting formulas traditionally used together for more widespread or long-standing stagnation. This traditional framework is not a medical diagnosis, and any diagnosed cardiovascular, circulatory, or bleeding-related condition should be evaluated and managed by a qualified healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⚠️ Important:\u003c\/b\u003e Contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing, in individuals with bleeding disorders, and in cases of severe frailty or constitutional weakness. Use with caution during menstruation, as it may increase menstrual bleeding; discontinue and resume after menstruation ends. Discontinue 1–2 weeks before any scheduled surgery. Contains Dang Gui; use with caution or avoid alongside anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, and maintain consistent vitamin K intake if taking warfarin (Coumadin). Not intended for continuous use beyond one month. Some individuals notice temporary discomfort in areas of old injury as circulation improves; if this is uncomfortable, reduce the dose and consult a healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eClinical Applications \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCirculation (SJ) is traditionally used to help support:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHealthy circulation throughout the body, including the head, torso, and lower body\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComfort during longstanding discomfort from an old, incompletely resolved injury\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneral cardiovascular wellness alongside a healthy lifestyle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComfort as an adjunct alongside other formulas when circulation-related stagnation is a complicating factor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeople looking to support whole-body circulation traditionally turn to formulas like this one, always alongside professional evaluation and management of any diagnosed cardiovascular, circulatory, gynecological, or digestive condition.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eKey Herbs (TCM Data)\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eTao Ren\u003c\/b\u003e (Peach Kernel) and \u003cb\u003eHong Hua\u003c\/b\u003e (Safflower): traditionally used together to activate blood circulation and help ease stagnation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eShui Zhi\u003c\/b\u003e (Leech): traditionally regarded as one of the strongest herbs for supporting healthy circulation and easing stubborn stagnation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eDang Gui\u003c\/b\u003e (Angelica Sinensis): traditionally used to nourish blood and support healthy circulation; use with caution alongside anticoagulant medications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eChuan Xiong\u003c\/b\u003e (Ligusticum): traditionally used to nourish blood and support healthy circulation, including to the head.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eDi Huang\u003c\/b\u003e (Rehmannia), \u003cb\u003eMu Dan Pi\u003c\/b\u003e (Moutan Bark), and \u003cb\u003eChi Shao\u003c\/b\u003e (Red Peony Root): traditionally used together to cool the blood and support healthy circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eZhi Qiao\u003c\/b\u003e (Bitter Orange), \u003cb\u003eWu Yao\u003c\/b\u003e (Lindera Root), and \u003cb\u003eXiang Fu\u003c\/b\u003e (Cyperus): traditionally used to regulate qi circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eJie Geng\u003c\/b\u003e (Platycodon), \u003cb\u003eChai Hu\u003c\/b\u003e (Bupleurum), and \u003cb\u003eChuan Niu Xi\u003c\/b\u003e (Cyathula Root): traditionally used as channel-guiding herbs to direct the formula's effect throughout the body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eYan Hu Suo\u003c\/b\u003e (Corydalis), \u003cb\u003eMo Yao\u003c\/b\u003e (Myrrh), and \u003cb\u003ePu Huang\u003c\/b\u003e (Cattail Pollen): traditionally used to help unblock the channels and support comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eRou Gui\u003c\/b\u003e (Cinnamon Bark): traditionally used to warm the channels and support circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e— \u003cb\u003eBai Shao\u003c\/b\u003e (White Peony Root) and \u003cb\u003eGan Cao\u003c\/b\u003e (Licorice Root): traditionally used to nourish blood and harmonize the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Contraindications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eContraindicated during pregnancy and nursing, in individuals with bleeding disorders, and in cases of severe frailty or constitutional weakness.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse with caution during menstruation, as it may increase bleeding; discontinue and resume after menstruation ends.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscontinue 1–2 weeks before any scheduled surgery.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains Dang Gui; use with caution or avoid alongside warfarin (Coumadin) or other anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications.
