Gou Teng (Uncaria Gambir Vine Thorn)- Liquid Extract (Tincture):
Gou Teng (Uncaria Gambir Vine Thorn) is an herb used in Chinese Medicine for two main purposes:
- It is considered an essential herb for sedating Liver fire, extinguishing internal wind, and alleviating spasms and is used to address such clinical presentations as: convulsions (infantile and adult), clenching of the jaw, tremors, seizures, high fever, and eclampsia.
- It drains Liver heat and pacifies rising Liver yang patterns (i.e. anchors Liver yang) that may present clinically as headaches, irritability, red eyes, and dizziness.
