HERBAL TREATMENT FOR POOR CIRCULATION, HAEMORRHAGE AND BLEEDING

March 30th, 2009 by admin

Poor Circulation,

Poor circulation is a general term which includes conditions such as insufficient peripheral circulation (cold hands and feet) and ñàpillary fragility (a tendency to bruise easily). Treatment for the condition utilizes herbs which stimulate circulation and provide tone to the peripheral blood vessels and fine surface capillaries.

6 parts Dandelion root

6 parts Rosehips

1 part Ginger root

1 part Cayenne Pepper

1 part Cinnamon bark

1 part Clove buds

Poor circulation seems more common in women than men, and is especially felt during winter.
