Prior to purchasing this product, it is recommended to book a consultation with one of our acupuncturists in order to determine whether this herbal formula will be beneficial for you.
TCM Functions:
* Relieves pain
* Invigorates qi and blood circulation
* Removes qi and blood stagnation
Cautions and Contraindications:
* This formula is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.
* Patients with persistent pain not relieved by Corydalin (AC) should seek further examination to rule out structural or functional abnormalities.
* Should other prominent signs of diminishing eyesight and vomiting occur in addition to the headache, refer the patient to a medical doctor immediately for a CT scan or MRI to rule out intra-cranial pressure due to tumor, aneurysms, or cerebral stenosis.
* Corydalin (AC) is designed for short-term management of acute pain, not for long-term treatment of chronic pain. Therefore, once the acute pain has subsided, Corydalin (AC) should be discontinued and another maintenance formula should be initiated.
* This herbal formula contains herbs that invigorate blood circulation, such as Dan Shen (Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae). Therefore, patients who are on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies, such as Coumadin (warfarin), should use this formula with caution, or not at all, as there may be a higher risk of bleeding and bruising.
