{"product_id":"spine-lithe","title":"Spine Lithe","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is a testament to the genius of Sun Si Miao, its creator, that a formula as complex as \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpine Lithe \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang) \u003c\/em\u003eis still in popular use. It is an even greater testament to his perspicacity that it contains two smaller formulas that would become among the most utilized herbal formulas. These two smaller formulas are \u003cstrong\u003eFour Substances \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Si Wu Tang), \u003c\/em\u003ethe quintessential Blood tonic formula, and \u003cstrong\u003eFour Gentlemen Decoction \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Si Jun Zi Tang), \u003c\/em\u003ethe quintessential Qi tonic formula\u003cem\u003e. \u003c\/em\u003eThree of the herbs of \u003cstrong\u003eFour Substances \u003c\/strong\u003eare found in this formula. They are White peony root, prepared Rehmannia root and Sichuan lovage rhizome. The herbs in \u003cstrong\u003eFour Gentlemen Decoction \u003c\/strong\u003erepresented here include Chinese red ginseng root and rhizome, Chinese licorice root and rhizome and Poria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kidney-tonifying herbs of \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpine Lithe \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003einclude Eucommia bark, Loranthus herb and Cyathula root. Eucommia astringes and tonifies Kidney Yang, while Cyathula root astringes and tonifies Kidney Yin. Loranthus herb expels Wind Cold Damp while supporting the Kidneys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurculigo rhizome, Pubescent angelica, Large-leaf gentian root and Siler root expel Wind Cold Damp from the channels, allowing Blood and Qi to course to the body periphery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpine Lithe \u003c\/strong\u003eretains much of the original architecture, but has some minor variations. Notopterygium root and rhizome has been added to extend the Wind-dispersing effects of the formula to the upper back and neck, instead of just the low back. Use of Cyathula root in place of Achryanthes and Dong Quai confers a Blood-moving effect while still nourishing the tendons. Prepared Rehmannia root is used in place of fresh Rehmannia because of its extra Blood- tonifying and warming effects. Curculigo rhizome is used in place of Asarum to dispel Wind Cold Damp, while further supporting the Kidneys and the bones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"03-KE-spine","offers":[{"title":"1 ounce \/ Extract","offer_id":44843252810046,"sku":"VSS1","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 tablets \/ Tablets","offer_id":44843252941118,"sku":"VSS120","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 tablets \/ Tablets","offer_id":44843252973886,"sku":"VSS300","price":67.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 ounces \/ Extract","offer_id":44843252842814,"sku":"VSS4","price":56.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 tablets \/ Tablets","offer_id":44843252908350,"sku":"VSS60","price":15.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ounces \/ Extract","offer_id":44843252875582,"sku":"VSS8","price":105.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/products\/Kan_Essentials_Spine_Lithe_Tablets.png?v=1677789323","url":"https:\/\/kanherb.myshopify.com\/products\/spine-lithe","provider":"Kan Herb Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
