Zuo Gu Shen Jing Tang (Sciatica Nerve Compound):
Zuo Gu Shen Jing Tang (Sciatica Nerve Compound) is a liquid tincture comprising Chinese herbs that clear the channels of the stagnation that leads to sciatic nerve pain (and other forms of joint, tendon and muscle pain). Use for sciatic nerve pain, joint pain, stiffness, and/or achiness. Can also be helpful to promote the healing of bruises and swelling from sports injuries/trauma.
Practitioner’s note: many (but not all) of the herbs in this formula clear heat or damp heat so this formula will likely be less effective for wind-cold-damp conditions.
I like and enjoy the benefits of the liquid sciatica compound and use it every day. I have sciatica on left leg from a non-fused pelvis on left side. This might be considered birth/development defect. It caused some instability with my left leg and hence the sciatica.
I also take Jin Gu Die Shang Wan – Restor Nex which seems to have a somewhat stronger effect. I use them both daily and no longer walk with painful limp. These formulas are a blessing as they are healing and I will not use pain medication anyway.
