Pet Ally: Brain (Di Tan Tang) | Herbal Tincture

Size: 1 oz (w/dropper included) - approx. 10 days supply

MADE IN USA

What is it?:

This formula is derived from a formula first recorded in the 13^th century called Di Tan Tang or “Scour Out Phlegm Decoction” and can be very helpful to address seizures, tremors, and other tics associated with idiopathic epilepsy.

One way epilepsy can be thought of is as stagnation blocking the channels through which qi and blood move about the body. This formula transforms the physical material clogging these channels (i.e. excess “phlegm”) and helps move it out of the body. Additional herbs are added that aid digestion- this is important because a major cause of excess phlegm blocking the channels is poor and/or incomplete digestion (a situation potentially exacerbated by poor quality dietary inputs).

Di Tan Tang is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Use carefully with older individuals/animals and those that are otherwise in a generalized weakened state or otherwise deficient.

What is it good for:

• tremors, seizures, and spasms associated w/ideopathic epilepsy

TCM Actions:

• transform phlegm

What else you might like to know:

It is important to understand that herbs work by restoring balance to the body. This means that you usually have to take an herb or a formula for a longer period of time than you would with pharmaceuticals in order to get results-- usually at least a month, and often times longer than that... it all depends on the individual and the nature of the ailment being addressed.
