Common questions

What is Chinaherb Osteo-Well Zhuang Yao Pian?+

It is the traditional Chinese formula Zhuang Yao Jian Shen Pian. In TCM terms it nourishes the Kidneys and strengthens the muscles and bones.

What is Zhuang Yao Pian traditionally used for?+

It is used for a chronically sore, weak or tired-feeling lower back and knees, and long-standing waist, leg or joint discomfort — the pattern Chinese medicine attributes to a Deficiency of Kidney Qi. It is commonly used by older people whose lower back feels lassitude and weakness, and which feels better for pressure.

Why does Chinese medicine link the lower back to the Kidneys?+

The classical saying is that the waist is the palace of the Kidneys — when Kidney Qi is deficient, the tradition says the lumbar area loses its nourishment, and the waist and knees become sore and weak. Zhuang Yao Pian is built to nourish exactly that.

Can it be combined with other formulas?+

Yes — traditionally it is combined with Relieve Bi where cold, damp weather makes the discomfort sharper. Check the label for directions, speak to your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing or on medication, and ask our consultants for guidance in-store or on WhatsApp.

chronic pain, fatigue, fever, joint pain, loss of energy

Disease description:

Arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease that can lead to damage to the joint surfaces. Besides bacteria, other infections in the body, a hereditary predisposition, as well as autoimmune processes can play a central role in the development of the disease. The inflammatory processes cause not only pain but also swelling of the joint, overheating and reddening of the skin in the area and joint effusion. In the beginning, symptoms show maybe morning stiffness, fatigue, exhaustion, fever, loss of appetite. In acute arthritis, the joint inflammation occurs very suddenly, while chronic arthritis is a protracted joint disease. Over time, there may be progressive destruction of the joint, which limits mobility and can lead to and joint deformation.

Chinese medicine classifies low backache into “Cold and Damp back pain”, “Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasisback pain” and “Kidney Deficiency back pain”.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that the waist is the palace of the Kidney. “Kidney Deficiency low back pain” is caused by irregular sexual intercourse or aging and body failure. Deficiency of Kidney Qi and Essencefails to nourish the lumbar area.
