Herbal Support for Fluid Balance & Digestive Harmony
There are seasons when the body feels light, energized, and flowing. And seasons when everything feels a little more sluggish.
During perimenopause and menopause, many women notice occasional puffiness, a sense of heaviness, digestive sluggishness, or the feeling that their body isn't moving and flowing quite as it once did.
Flowing Waters was thoughtfully crafted to support the body's natural movement of fluids while encouraging digestive harmony through the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Like a stream that remains clear because it continues to flow, this formula was created to encourage gentle movement, nourishment, and balance throughout the menopausal transition.
The Wisdom of Dampness & Flow
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy movement is a sign of balance. Qi moves, Blood* circulates, digestion transforms nourishment, and the body fluids are distributed where they are needed.
When this movement slows, Dampness may begin to accumulate. Dampness isn't simply water, it's a traditional concept describing a feeling of heaviness, sluggishness, or stagnation within the body.
The Spleen plays an important role in transforming food and fluids into nourishment. When this system becomes overworked or weakened, fluids may not move as efficiently, contributing to a sense of feeling weighed down.
Flowing Waters was thoughtfully formulated to:
- Strengthen Spleen Qi to support healthy fluid transformation.
- Transform Dampness and encourage natural movement.
- Support the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body.
- Encourage digestive harmony.
- Promote balanced movement of fluids during times of hormonal transition.
Simply put, Flowing Waters was created to help the body remember how to flow.
