Neck and Shoulders Support - Formerly Upper Back Support
Herbal Formula for Botanical Support for Upper Back and Neck
In traditional Chinese herbalism, botanicals have long been used to support
the back. Planetary Formulas Neck and Shoulders Support combines kudzu, traditionally
used to support the upper back, with other classic Chinese herbs.
In Chinese herbalism, herbs are used to support general back health. Ancient
formulas have long supported specific back areas by focusing on the liver, kidneys
and specific muscles. According to traditional Chinese texts, the kidneys are
stated to "rule the bones," while the liver is said to "govern
the tendons." The botanicals used in the lower back formula are traditionally
used to support the kidneys and liver, and are said to "strengthen the
sinews and bones... and benefit the joints," while herbs for the neck and
shoulders are also said to support muscle relaxation.
The primary herb in Planetary Formulas Neck and Shoulders Support is kudzu,
Pueraria lobata, also first written about in 206 B.C. This unique botanical
has recently been popularized by today's macrobiotics proponents, and continues
to be included in China's official pharmacopoeia. Neck and Shoulders Support
combines kudzu with specific botanicals from traditional Chinese herbalism used
to release neck and shoulder tension, including ligusticum, notopterygium, turmeric
extract, dong quai extract, peony alba, clematis, astragalus, cinnamon and millettiae.
