Traditional Benefits of After Stroke (M) – Mucus/Phlegm Formula

After Stroke (M) Formula is designed according to the Silkie Herbs® Mucus/Phlegm pattern traditionally associated with right-sided facial weakness and imbalance. Its traditional functions focus on transforming Phlegm-Dampness, dispelling Wind, opening the channels, nourishing Blood, and supporting the smooth circulation of Qi and Blood.*

Traditionally Used to Transform Phlegm-Dampness*

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), weakened transformation and transportation of fluids may allow Dampness and Phlegm to accumulate. When Phlegm-Dampness obstructs the channels, it may contribute to facial heaviness, numbness, stiffness, and reduced movement. This formula is traditionally used to transform Phlegm-Dampness and support greater internal balance.

Traditionally Used to Dispel Wind and Open the Channels*

Wind combined with Phlegm may interfere with the normal movement of Qi and Blood through the channels and collaterals. After Stroke (M) Formula is traditionally used to dispel Wind, reduce obstruction within the channels, and support the free movement of Qi and Blood throughout the face.

Supports Right-Sided Facial Movement and Symmetry*

Within the Silkie Herbs® family herbal system, the Mucus/Phlegm pattern is traditionally associated with facial weakness or imbalance affecting the right side. This formula supports healthy facial muscle nourishment, balanced movement, natural expression, and overall facial symmetry.

Supports Healthy Facial Muscle Control and Coordination*

The facial muscles must work together when speaking, smiling, chewing, blinking, and expressing emotions. By supporting the channels and the circulation of Qi and Blood, this formula helps maintain healthy facial muscle control, coordination, and responsiveness.

Supports Healthy Eye, Mouth and Lip Movement*

Right-sided facial weakness may affect blinking, closing the eye, smiling, puffing the cheeks, whistling, or controlling the lips and mouth. This traditional formula supports the muscles and channels involved in comfortable eye, mouth, and lip movement.

Supports the Smooth Flow of Qi and Blood*

According to TCM, Qi moves Blood while Blood nourishes the muscles, tissues, and channels. This formula is traditionally used to support the smooth circulation of Qi and Blood, maintain proper nourishment of the facial tissues, and promote balanced movement.

Supports Facial Comfort in Patterns of Heaviness and Stiffness*

Phlegm-Dampness and Wind obstruction may be accompanied by feelings of facial heaviness, tightness, stiffness, numbness, or reduced flexibility. This formula is traditionally used to address the underlying TCM pattern while supporting facial comfort and ease of movement.

Nourishes Blood, Yin and Facial Tissues*

Adequate Blood and Yin help nourish the muscles, tissues, and channels. After Stroke (M) Formula combines herbs that address Wind and Phlegm with herbs traditionally used to nourish Blood and Yin, supporting facial tissue nourishment without focusing only on obstruction.

Supports Long-Term Facial Wellness and Internal Balance*

Long-standing TCM patterns may involve a combination of deficiency and obstruction. Consistent support selected according to the individual’s complete pattern may help maintain healthy facial movement, channel circulation, nourishment, and overall constitutional balance over time.
