Stefania

Stephania (S. tetrandrae), also known as “fang ji” in Chinese herbal medicine, is a well-regarded herb for joint pain, inflammation, and water retention.

It is used for Lyme arthralgias, neurological or musculoskeletal pain and swelling.  We use it in protocols designed to address swollen joints, pain and stiffness in the hands and feet or other joints.

Stephania is a natural diuretic and can help alleviate water retention in the lower body (legs, ankles and feet).

It is also neuroprotective and may be helpful in cases of brain inflammation, eye inflammation, and cardiovascular disorders.
