When these vessels are Cold and deficient, the Blood and Qi flowing through them stagnate, leading to blood stasis, which in turn hampers the production of new Blood. Since Blood's role includes moisturizing and cooling the body, Blood deficiency can cause Heat symptoms. Consequently, Women’s Journey also targets imbalances associated with Heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlood represents the aspect of being that supports comfort and a sense of completion within oneself. For women of menopausal age, physical and emotional changes due to disruption of the Blood cycle may be of great concern. When a woman presents with patterns of excess and deficiency, or Heat and Cold simultaneously, the practitioner will need to address both imbalances. Women’s Journey is designed to alleviate such conflicting signs as an occasional cold abdomen, pale tongue color and complexion, blushing, sweating, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. Although this formula is designed primarily for women, it may also be used for men with Cold paralysis and Heat agitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula may be especially helpful for individuals struggling with adapting to transitions and environmental changes.
