Frequently asked questions
What is Suo Quan Wan?
Suo Quan Wan, or Restrict the Fountain Pill, is a classical Chinese herbal formula dating back to 1227 AD. Our root + spring tincture brings the same formula, also called Suo Quan Tang, into a convenient liquid form. It is a small, focused formula of three herbs that has been a staple of Chinese medicine for centuries for supporting healthy bladder control.
What is Suo Quan Wan traditionally used for?
In Chinese medicine Suo Quan Wan is traditionally used to warm the kidneys, dispel cold from the lower abdomen and secure essence. That pattern of kidney cold is associated with frequent urination, getting up at night to urinate and bladder weakness after childbirth. The formula is meant to support the body's natural ability to hold urine by addressing the underlying cold rather than only the symptom.
What herbs are in the Restrict the Fountain tincture?
The formula has three key herbs. Sharp-leaf galangal fruit (Yi Zhi Ren) warms the kidneys and helps stabilize urine. Lindera root (Wu Yao) disperses cold in the lower abdomen and helps transform bladder qi. Chinese yam (Shan Yao) strengthens the spleen, tonifies the kidneys and binds essence. Together they warm and firm up the lower body in Chinese medicine terms.
How do I take Suo Quan tincture?
Shake the bottle well before each use. For a maintenance serving, dissolve 1 to 2 droppers, about half a teaspoon, in warm water or juice two to three times daily. For an augmented serving, take 1 full teaspoon two to three times a day in warm water or juice. To evaporate some of the alcohol, place your serving in hot water for a few minutes before drinking.
How long before I notice a difference with Suo Quan Wan?
Responses vary from person to person. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while others need longer. Chinese herbs work by gradually restoring balance, so it is common to take a formula like this consistently for a month or more. Each 1 oz bottle is roughly a 10 day supply, so plan ahead for a full course.
Are there side effects or people who should not take this formula?
It is generally well tolerated, though some people notice mild digestive discomfort. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and anyone with an underlying health condition should talk with a healthcare provider before use. If you take other medications, check with your doctor to rule out interactions. Sudden changes in urination, pain or blood in the urine should always be checked by a doctor first.
Is Suo Quan Wan for men or women?
Both. The formula is designed for urinary concerns common to men and women alike, and it has a long traditional use for bladder weakness after childbirth as well. What matters in Chinese medicine is the pattern, cold in the kidneys and lower abdomen, rather than gender. Signs of that pattern can include a cold feeling in the lower back or belly and clear, frequent urine.
Should I avoid any foods while taking Suo Quan Wan?
Yes, it is best to avoid spicy and stimulating foods while you use this formula, since they can work against its calming, securing action. Chinese medicine also generally suggests going easy on iced drinks and lots of raw, cold foods during a course like this, because the formula's job is to warm the lower body.
