Giving birth is a truly miraculous event of life, but can also be very hard on the body of the gestational parent. According to TCM, the postpartum body is in a ‘cold’ state where the Qi is weakened.  

This formula stimulates blood flow to promote healing, warms the body, aids recovery by clearing blood stasis and tissue from the uterus and helps it to contract, and relieves pain by warming the channels. Sheng Hua Tang also helps ease the 4-6 weeks of lochia, the discharge from the womb after birth, by cleansing the blood.
