What is Plum Flower – True Warrior Teapills (Zhen Wu Wan):
Plum Flower – True Warrior Teapills (Zhen Wu Wan) is a classical Chinese Medicine formula (2nd century AD) that gets its name “True Warrior” (Zhen Wu) from the legendary Chinese God of water. This formula is indicated for use in cases when there is chronic retention of water in the body due to Spleen and Kidney yang deficiency.
True Warrior teapills may be applicable for such clinical presentations as*:
- edema
- congestive heart failure
- chronic nephritis
- ascites/liver cirrhosis
- water accumulation/dampness in the joints causing swelling, stiffness and pain
- dizziness and vertigo due to fluid accumulation/Meniere’s disease
Clinical note: urinary difficulty and watery diarrhea are secondary symptoms that may also point to the appropriate use of this formula.







I added this supplement to my dogs regiment after her kidneys started struggling with the medication load of CHF. We honestly had decided she had a few weeks to make an upturn or we would let her go… I have a completely different dog, her urinary conditions have stabilized, her drinking is normal, and her attitude has done an absolute 180! Waiting for follow up kidney counts with the vet but both her and I are absolutely astonished the difference this had made for her quality of life! PLEASE talk to you vet about this being an option for your pup!
