Next to Essence (Jing), Blood (Xue) is the most dense and substantial body constituent, the stuff out of which all tissue and structural components arise. Blood also serves as the medium of the Mind. Blood, which arises from the Marrow and is generated by Essence, is the mother of Qi.
When Blood is lost, the Qi loses its root and the unity of the soma and psyche can be easily perturbed. This may account for the occasional disorientation that some people experience after donating blood, a heavy menstrual period or after childbirth.

Insufficiency of Blood is often associated with weakness of the Spleen (whose Qi contains the Blood within the vessels), and inadequate storage by the Liver (which nurtures the Blood), or may result from occasional psychological stress or mental effort that overtaxes the Qi of the Liver, Heart and Spleen. Because Blood is derived from Marrow and Essence, Blood deficiency can develop as a result of excessive physical work and immoderate sexual activity that depletes the Kidney Essence.

Consolidate Red River helps to maintain the quality of Blood and keeps it in its proper locale within the vessels.

Tienchi ginseng root and rhizome, Dong quai root and White peony root strengthen the Spleen and the Liver, enabling them to generate, store and nurture the Blood. Sichuan teasel root and Eclipta herb support the Liver and Kidney, supplement Marrow, strengthen bones and secure the womb. Lotus root node, Agrimony herb and Field thistle herb assists purifying the Blood and containing it within the vessels.

Overall, these herbs bolster and invigorate the Blood while sustaining the integrity of the vessels.
