The Swan’s Neck tincture is based on the traditional Jing Fang Er Hao Tang blend, administered by Chinese medicine practitioners.
Chinese medicine tells us that there are paths in our body where Qi energy flows. Sometimes, Qi’s gets blocked for one reason or another. This is the cause behind the occurrence of pain, whether it’s joint pain, toothache, or menstrual cramps. Some places in our body are typically narrow,and therefore it’ssusceptible to meridian blockages. Pain in the neck and nape is characteristic in this regard. The blend’s imperial herb is known as Ge Gen (Radix puerariae); it guides the rest of the herbs to the neck and nape area.
