Darken greys, fight hair loss, and get the best hair of your life with our Crowning Glory Hair Tonic, now a double extract for even more potency!

This hair tonic formula is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles of nourishing blood and essence (Jing) to support hair growth. He shou wu is traditionally known for its capacity to restore vital essence and even darken prematurely graying hair. Therefore, it is the guiding herb for this formula.

Shan yao, or Chinese yam, is a traditional Qi tonic and used in this formula to strengthen digestion as well as support the action of tonifying Kidney Yin. It also has a mild astringent effect which supports maintaining essence (Jing).

Dang gui and bai shao, or angelica root and white peony root, are a very commonly used pair for nourishing and moving blood. Dang gui is warm and supports the Heart and Liver, while bai shao is cool and slightly sour acting primarily on the Liver. Here bai shao balances the other warming herbs of the formula and soothes the Liver while still nourishing Yin and harmonizing digestion. These two are also a great pair for regulating menstruation and soothing menstrual pain.

Sha ren, or cardamom, is added in a small dose to harmonize the formula and support the digestion of the other herbal constituents. It is used to prevent any stagnation that can be caused by tonifying herbs.

While this formula is primarily created as a hair tonic to be used over the course of several months, it has a wide variety of uses. It can be used as a post-menstrual tonic to support building blood after menstruation. It can also be used during the postpartum time for any signs of maternal depletion or blood deficiency.
