How It's Used

In Chinese herbal traditions, Safflower is celebrated for its role in activating blood flow and supporting natural energy balance. It is often used to maintain harmony during the menstrual cycle and encourage overall well-being.

In Western herbal practices, Safflower is appreciated for its supportive properties, including promoting circulation and encouraging balance in daily life. Its versatile uses make it a valuable addition to routines that focus on natural harmony and vitality.
