Pregnancy is a journey marked by profound changes as a woman’s body nurtures new life with careful balance and strength. At Chinaherb, we understand the importance of supporting this journey through natural, effective solutions rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Our Nourish Blood formula is crafted to provide comprehensive support, especially for expecting mothers who seek natural remedies to maintain optimal iron and vitamin B12 levels and overall vitality throughout their pregnancy.
The body’s demand for blood and qi (vital energy) increases significantly during pregnancy. These essential elements nourish both mother and baby, supporting healthy foetal development and maintaining the mother’s energy. Yet, due to increased iron needs, many pregnant women face challenges like anaemia, fatigue, poor memory and even digestive discomfort such as constipation – a common side effect of iron supplements.
Chinaherb’s Nourish Blood formula is uniquely suited for these needs.
First published in Formulas for Benefiting Health during the Song Dynasty in 1253 AD, this formula was traditionally crafted to strengthen the heart and spleen while gently boosting iron levels. It features Gui Pi Tang, known as “restore the spleen decoction”, which focuses on enriching blood, relieving fatigue and regulating central functions in the body.
What sets this formula apart is its natural approach to maintaining iron and vitamin B12 levels and nourishing blood without the heavy impact that can often lead to digestive issues. The herbs within Gui Pi Tang have been carefully chosen to help alleviate constipation, making it an ideal solution for mothers who need iron support without the side effects.
Nourish Blood also contains powerful herbal ingredients like Shu Di Huang (rehmannia) and Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), which nourish yin and blood, two fundamental aspects of health in TCM. Rehmannia and Angelica work synergistically to support healthy blood circulation, improve immune response and enhance emotional well-being. These effects are particularly beneficial during pregnancy, helping women manage stress, maintain energy levels and promote restful sleep.
At Chinaherb, we believe in a holistic approach that complements the body’s natural processes. Our formula addresses root imbalances without causing unnecessary side effects, which aligns with TCM’s gentle yet effective philosophy. The aim is to address symptoms and promote lasting health and vitality for both mother and child.
If you’re an expecting mother, choosing natural support like Nourish Blood can be a way to nourish both yourself and your growing baby while embracing the wisdom of TCM.
With Chinaherb, let this summer be a season of strength, balance and harmony as you prepare to welcome new life.
