Sheng Mai Tang – Liquid Extract (Tincture):
Sheng Mai Tang (“Generate the Pulse” Decoction) is our variation of a a classical TCM formula (originating in the 12th century) which addresses a wide variety of complaints that have in common a weak and/or erratic pulse (see list below for examples of specific applications).
It can also be thought of as a recovery-type formula. For example, it is appropriately used after the acute phase of an illness to aid recovery or as an adjunct therapy (e.g. ameliorating certain side effects of chemotherapy drugs, for dry cough due to AIDS, etc.). It can also be thought of as a gentle tonic formula to help the elderly and those deficient of qi and yin.
Discontinue use of this formula during colds & flu; also, do not use this formula if the person has a fever.
