About Red Peony Tablets

Red Peony Tablets is a Seven Forests product that is also widely known as Huo Xue Jie Du Pian. It has been specifically designed to help clear toxins and heat while also vitalizing the blood. The formula is based on modern Chinese clinical approaches to treating herpes zoster. Herpes zoster is a viral infection that takes place when the virus varicella-zoster is reactivated in the body. It is usually accompanied by a painful dermatological rash that is self-limited. The symptomatology includes pain as the virus spreads on the skin, creating small blisters, which is considered a chronic infection of the nervous system. However, our immune system keeps it dormant over the years. It has been found that high levels of nervous stress and/or immune suppression (could result from drug therapy or disease) can lead to the eruption of herpes zoster. Red Peony Tablets comes to play, then, combining antitoxin herbs and blood stasis.

How Red Peony Tablets Work

Herpes zoster is marked by heat-toxin, given that it manifests as red pus-filled eruptions, as well as blood stasis, which is the reason behind the severe pain. Red Peony Tablets has been formulated to contain key antitoxin herbs, such as Isatis, Forsythia, Ionicera, and Taraxacum, which have been used to treat viral infections for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. On top of that, the product also contains herbs that aim the vitalization of blood (i.e., Carthamus, Persica, Corydalis, and Red Peony), which also rush to address the disruption of circulation that occurs on the affected site. All these compounds join forces and help alleviate pain and relieve the negative effects of herpes zoster.

Note: When still at the early stages of herpes zoster, you could consider adding more toxin-clearing herbs, such as Isatis 6, Bidens 6, or Gentiana 12, for a few days. If the eruptions clear, but the pain of the virus lingers on, you could incorporate more blood vitalizing herbs, such as Corydalis, Upper Palace Tablets, or Myrrh Tablets.

Important Notes:

• Herbal remedies can be helpful when used to treat herpes zoster. Nevertheless, some cases are resistant to most herb therapies unless they (the therapies) involve high doses of both an oral supplement and topical applications. In this instance, it might be best to consider using the reasonably preventative drug therapy available for the virus, especially if you have experienced a bout of eruptions in the past.
