PRUNUS PERSICA

Tao Ren PEACH KERNEL

This herb invigorates (or “regulates”) the Blood, treating problems associated with Blood stasis. In TCM, these disorders include pain and internal masses or growths.

HOW TO USE

Tao Ren is a very strong herb. It breaks through Blood and is an important herb for hard abdominal masses and tumors, and for epigastric lumps such as enlarged Liver or Spleen, if there is Stagnant Blood present. It also treats congealed Blood amenorrhea and abdominal pain, or pain from injuries. It is good for psychosis caused by congealed Blood (according to TCM) or post-partum psychosis, and treats Lung and Intestinal abscesses. Like many seeds, it is useful for constipation caused by dry Intestines.
