Sheng Mai San (Pulse Engendering) is a classic Chinese formula made from three herbs: 9gm Chinese ginseng (ren shen); 3gm schisandra berry (wu wei zi); and 9gm radix ophiopogonis (mai men dong). Chinese ginseng is used for chills and weakness; wu wei zi reduces excess sweating; and mai men dong is moistening for dry cough and thick sputum. The formula is used to increase vitality and lung fluids in order to enhance breathing. In that way it can combat the effects of weakness and pollution--particularly useful for smokers or those who are always thirsty, who have thick mucus left-over from colds, asthmatic people with dry red tongues who gasp for breath, and anyone very sensitive to pollution. Used regularly these herbs can reduce excess sweating, chronic cough, severe thirst and dry mouth, shortness of breath (panting) and insomnia. It eases a stifling feeling in the chest. Traditional symptoms include dry red tongue and fast weak pulse. This combination is not suited for people with a tendency for indigestion and nausea (pale tongue with white/grey coating). They need digestive herbs. Our special 10 day program is the recommended combination of : 9gm Chinese ginseng (ren shen); 3gm schisandra berry (wu wei zi); and 9gm radix ophiopogonis (mai men dong) decoction in indivdually sealed bags. Using our time tested special process of decoction which takes approximately 2 hours, we will combine the herbs and package each dose into a plastic bag. To take, just tear the corner and drink early in the morning with water. Since this is a strong decoction the taste will be bitter. Contents: 10 bags.
