"StagnaGon" - Balance Your Qi Formula...

Dr. Hodis names the fourth formula "StagnaGon" This formula includes medicinal plants that are associated with the liver and detoxification. In Chinese medicine, the liver is considered the "Minister of Energy." When your energy, your Qi, in the liver is stuck and suddenly bursts, it can cause a lot of pain. In such cases, besides eczema, you may experience symptoms of an irritable liver. How can you notice it?

Well, This often characterizes a person who is easily irritated, with symptoms that can vary widely. It's common when eczema is coming along with a shock or emotional trauma, and when the illness persists, it may lead to Damp/Heat. In other words...

When you feel symptoms of Damp Heat along with those related to the liver Qi stagnation, this formula becomes preferable. Indications such as: fatigue, feeling unwell, rashes, joint pain and inflammation, enlarged glands, food allergies, swelling, scaling, blisters, itching, eczema, lymph gland inflammation.

Actions:

Encourages detoxification and alleviates Damp Heat Cold.
Reduces toxic heat.
Promotes urination, drains fluids, and relieves congestion in the liver and lymph.
Strengthens liver Yin, relieves stagnation in the liver and intestines, and regulates metabolism.

This formula works vigorously to eliminate toxins in chronic/degenerative conditions with metabolic dysfunction. Toxins are channeled from tissues and organs into the blood, drained, and expelled from the body through urine and the colon, while also strengthening the liver to neutralize toxins.

And once again...the formula is uniquely suited for treating eczema and skin lesions, often with a base of damp/heat due to liver Qi stagnation. This condition manifests as restlessness, irritability, tension, and pain. The liver Qi, as the Minister of Energy, can attack the body's organs uncontrollably, leading to the development of damp heat eczema. Check out Real-World Example C that align with this formula
