Corydalis Natural Pain Relief Herbs

Description

Corydalis (Yan Hu Suo), nature’s pain reliever, is an herb often used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to relieve pain. It is commonly used for headaches, backaches, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, chronic pain and even nerve pain. Studies have found no addictive properties in Corydalis roots and no tolerance building to Corydalis, so experts say Corydalis can be used to treat long term pain without carrying the same risk of addiction of prescription medication.

Pacific Herbs Corydalis Natural Pain Relief Herb Pack is based on a TCM formulation that blends Corydalis concentrated extract with seven additional herbs, including turmeric. Chinese Herbal Medicine has proven that herbs, when combined, have a synergistic effect. The TCM formulation that we use for our Corydalis Herb Pack is highly regarded for pain relief in Chinese materia medica and have been used effectively for centuries. Our Corydalis concentrated granules have a 10:1 ratio, which means 10 grams of raw products are used for every 1 gram of finished concentrated herbal extract.

There are many imposters when it comes to Corydalis and many who sell ground Corydalis powder that is often similar but not the real Corydalis root. Only the correct genius will have an abundance of valuable alkaloids, the effective pain relief chemicals. We test all our Corydalis plants for correct genius and species. Also, the vast majority of Corydalis roots are sprayed with sulfur-based spray, which is used to control decay and kill contaminants and insects, as well as decrease drying time. Chinese herbs are derived from natural plant and mineral products, so they are vulnerable to contaminants and insect infestation. However, we believe the byproduct of spraying is unacceptable as it often changes the chemical structure of the raw Corydalis plants and sulfur can have significant side effects on some people, such as asthmatics. For those not suffering from asthma, the most common reactions can include diarrhea and headaches.

Thus, Pacific Herbs does NOT buy any products that have been sprayed with sulfur dioxide (SD). For this reason, we have stringent policies for raw herb sourcing of all our products. Pacific Herbs tests all raw herbs for purity and potency using HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromotography). Also, Organoleptic inspection and chemical analysis for over 200 contaminants are one step in the process of making sure our Corydalis plants, as well as all our raw herbs, are the highest quality available.
