Even among the 96,000 entries contained in the Chinese dictionary of herbal formulas, Qianyang Dan, one of Classical Pearls’ premiere formulas in the Heritage Series, cannot be found. There’s still work to be done professor Fruehauf!

Heiner Fruehauf PhD has been a close student for the past twenty years of professor Wang Qingyu, a leading scholar and practitioner of Taoist medicine in China. Wang Qingyu won a national contest in folk medicine that the military conducted to find the best healer for treating the top politicians and China’s olympic athletes. He was chosen to treat the famous diving team in the 80’s that is still winning medals today. Known as the Mr. Miyagi, behind the scenes, he would treat injured athletes with external Qigong and Taoist herbal formulas and have them back in competition after being injured.

Yunnan Baiyao has been a common remedy for external injuries among American practitioners, but in truth it is primarily useful for stopping bleeding. With broken bones you have to warm the Collaterals and give them a substance that nourishes the bone web, as the Taoists say. Ox Bone Pearls uses the bone of the water buffalo (Niu Gugu) or yak as well as the shell of the river crab (Pangxie) to accomplish this. Instead of relying on calcium supplements, Ox Bone Pearls ingredients are a highly absorbable form of naturally occurring bone building material.

In ancient China casts were not used as they increase the existing trauma by hindering the flow of Qi and Blood to the area. While using formulas like Ox Bone Pearls and leaving the arm open and splinted, even splinter fractures are healed as the body remembers where each piece belongs! With modern Western treatment, surgically inplanting drills and screws, the body is often left inflamed for years and ultimately confused. Using Ox Bone Pearls, it isn't uncommon for the physician to recommend shortening the cast wearing time significantly.

These two ingredients along with the rest of the formula can dramatically stimulate the mineralization and uptake of bone. Therefore, Ox Bone Pearls can also be used for bone demineralization issues such as osteoporosis.
