Organic Salvia Extract

Salvia miltiorrhiza, also known as red sage, is a flowering plant native to China and Japan. It is part of the mint family. The plant’s roots are called Danshen and have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2000 years.

Traditionally, Danshen is given to people with problems related to the heart and circulatory systems, such as high blood pressure or stroke

Danshen aka the dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, is used in Chinese medicine to promote blood flow and treat vascular disease. Danshen appears to alter hemostasis and improve circulation by causing vasodilation, inhibiting platelet aggregation and decreasing clotting, interfering with extrinsic blood coagulation, mimicking the activity of antithrombin III, and promoting fibrinolytic activity. Danshen is used orally for circulation problems, ischemic stroke, angina pectoris, and other cardiovascular diseases as well as menstrual problems, chronic hepatitis, abdominal masses, insomnia due to palpitations and tight chest, acne, psoriasis, eczema, and other skin conditions. Danshen is also used orally to relieve bruising and to aid in wound healing.
