 Physical Indications: In Chinese medicine, Blood is a dense, material form of qi and, as such, needs to flow evenly and regularly; its movement should never be forced or erratic. If the smooth flow of Blood is blocked, a condition of congealed Blood may result. Congealed Blood often results as gynecological complaints such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and post-partum retention of lochia. Women's Chamber is especially useful when congealed Blood causes palpable masses in the lower abdomen, which may be accompanied by pain and tenderness.
 
On a circulatory level, congealed Blood can manifest as chronic numbness in the limbs, chronic skin problems, and chronic chest pain. Therefore, Women's Chamber is a suitable formula for women or men who present these types of conditions.

Chinese medicine considers Blood to be the aspect of ourselves that allows our behavior and activities to flow comfortably and smoothly; it allows us to feel rooted and to have a sense of our place in the world. Conversely, congealed Blood can cause feelings of terror, disconnection from oneself, and paranoia. Women's Chamber can help alleviate such emotional imbalances and restore a sense of stability.
