Overview

Resolve (AI) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula traditionally used to help support the body's natural response to areas of swelling, hardness, or tissue heat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these patterns are traditionally associated with toxic heat and blood stagnation lodging in the tissues. This formula is designed to be a supportive traditional complement alongside professional medical care, not a replacement for diagnosis or treatment of any infection or growth.

⚠️ Important: Contraindicated in yin-type (deep-rooted) presentations that appear grayish and dark with no redness or pain. Contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing. Use with caution with Spleen qi deficiency or yang deficiency with cold extremities. Not designed for long-term use — discontinue once desired comfort is achieved. Acute appendicitis is still better treated with surgery to avoid rupture of the appendix; this formula is not a substitute for that care. Contains Dang Gui Wei, which invigorates blood circulation — those on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy such as warfarin should use with caution or avoid this formula.

Clinical Applications & Benefits

Resolve (AI) is traditionally used to help support:

• Comfort during areas of swelling, hardness, or nodules in the tissues
• Healthy lymphatic flow and drainage
• Tissue comfort alongside a diagnosed infection or inflammatory condition, as directed by your physician
• General comfort during recovery from skin or soft-tissue irritation

This formula is traditionally used as a primary support or as an adjunct alongside conditions involving swelling, hardness, or nodules, always in coordination with a qualified healthcare provider. Any acute infection, rapidly growing mass, or suspected malignancy requires prompt medical evaluation and is not addressed by this formula.

Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle

Nutrition: Spicy, greasy, and fried foods, alcohol, shellfish, and sugar are traditionally reduced. Plenty of water and gentle, easily digested foods are traditionally encouraged.
