Dissolve Mass (Statis Breaker) | Herbal Tincture

Dissolve Mass Stasis Breaker is a root + spring house blend of seven Chinese herbs in liquid tincture form. It is made in the USA and comes in a 1 oz bottle with a dropper. In Chinese medicine terms it is a strong blood moving formula built around classic herbs such as San leng, E zhu and Zhe bei mu.

In Chinese medicine this formula is traditionally used to invigorate the circulation of blood and qi, transform phlegm and clear heat toxins. Stasis means something has stopped moving freely, and this blend is built to get things flowing again. It is considered a strong formula, so it is generally used with a clear purpose and taken steadily rather than now and then.

There are seven herbs. Oldenlandia (Bai hua she she cao), Jujube date (Da zao), Curcuma zedoaria (E zhu), Licorice root (Gan cao), Oyster shell (Mu li), Sparganium (San leng) and Fritillaria thunbergii (Zhe bei mu). San leng and E zhu are a classic pair for moving blood, while Zhe bei mu and Mu li are traditionally used to transform phlegm. Jujube and licorice help harmonize the blend.

Shake the bottle well first. For the maintenance serving, stir 1 to 2 droppers, about half a teaspoon, into warm water or juice and drink it 2 to 3 times a day. The augmented serving is 1 full teaspoon 2 to 3 times a day in warm water or juice. Taking it in something warm is traditional and gentle on the stomach.

Do not use this formula if you are pregnant. It is a strong blood moving blend, so if you take blood thinners or other prescription medicines, have a bleeding condition or have surgery coming up, talk with your doctor before starting. It is also best avoided while breastfeeding unless a practitioner who knows your history advises it.

Most people take it for at least a month, and often longer. Chinese herbs work by gradually restoring balance, so they are usually taken for weeks rather than days. How long depends on the person and on what is being addressed. Taking it consistently at the suggested serving tends to matter more than taking a large amount at once.

Yes, like most herbal tinctures it is an alcohol extract. If you prefer less alcohol, add your serving to a cup of hot water and let it sit for a few minutes before drinking, which lets much of the alcohol evaporate. Mixing it into juice also softens the taste, which is earthy and a little bitter.

One 1 oz bottle is about a 10 day supply at the suggested servings. If you take the augmented serving of a full teaspoon several times a day, it will go faster. Because these formulas are usually taken for a month or more, many people order a few bottles at once so they do not run out partway through.
