Corydalis Powder - Yan Hu SUO - 5.2 oz

I've been ordering this Corydalis for a couple of months now and it is the best one I've tried so far. I have Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Fibromyalgia, and other issues caused by the PTSD that cause pain and tiredness. This Corydalis works well for me. I must note that to get the full effectiveness of an herb, a good, clean diet is beneficial. Keeping your body healthy and away from processed, unhealthy foods is necessary to be healthy and for the herbs to be more effective. Changing my diet, exercising, and supplementing with herbs has really helped me. Herbs take time to work, as well. I'm in a different place with the PTSD than a few years ago when I started a more natural path. I added that note about effectiveness because I see a lot of herb reviews that completely write off the product. I take this Corydalis in orange juice and it works. I'm have also taken it in warm water and that works too. I don't mind the taste because it takes away the pain and after awhile I got used to the taste. This Corydalis really doesn't taste that bad. It is difficult to find quality Corydalis, luckily I found this one.

I got this because I read that it was just as powerful as morphine and that it may be able to help with nerve pain. I have done hours upon hours of research about nerve pain and treatments for it. I decided to give this a try because I'm in constant pain. It's very difficult to find a treatment that works for nerve pain, but I'd say this one actually does take some of the edge off the pain. I put it into capsules to make it easier to take, but the taste isn't unbearable. It kind of numbs your mouth which is great for me because I have a severed lingual nerve as a result of my wisdom tooth extraction and now my tongue is numb except for a constant burning, pins and needles sensation.

Taste is not the best but did get some pain relief.

Taste good

As an RN who recently self-diagnosed with fibromyalgia this miracle herb is a GODSEND. I am very medication sensitive and I felt results within 20miutes of oral ingestion in cold water. Of course the taste is terrible- but I am not one who is seeking something good-tasting LOL. I was having a great deal of pain and stiffness in my legs and this along with nightly massage with a handheld massager has put the fibromyalgia on the way to remission. I gave it 4 stars due to lack of dosing information which is critical. I noted that on many other powders 1 teaspoon was around 1000mg. So I started by taking 2 teaspoons daily and reduced to one teaspoon. I would not put it in any beverage which could harm or chance nature. I would experiment with dosage between 1-4 teaspoons at least twice daily if you are having SEVERE PAIN or Stiffness. There are clinical studies for this herb for lower back pain. I also take some herbal barks for decrease inflammation. I find this herb to be miraculous but let's recall not all meds work for all people- I truly suggest to stick with it.

I have been using Corydalis for 10 years to control my migraines. This powder doesn't smell like corydalis, it doesn't taste like corydalis and after using it for 2 days my migraine is coming back.

I experienced burning sensation in my left shoulder for months without relief. After researching Chinese Materia Medica, I landed on the herb Corydalis for inflammation. Tao of Herbs is one of the most reasonably priced and superior to competitors'. I am grateful for this purveyor of herbal powders. I have since preached to my friends, and some of them are now on Corydalis.

I prefer using actual corydalis root, cut up to make into a tea, but it's very difficult to find quality roots here in the states and I do not want to order it from anywhere in Asia, at least not until Covid is more under control, I suppose. This powder is a good substitute; it does not taste great lol, and does not really dissolve so you can feel the grittiness of it in your mouth while drinking it. I personally don't mind the flavor; I call it my "asparagus water" because quite frankly it tastes like it! I usually make hot tea that has an earthy flavor already, and add this to it. I use decaffeinated tea, of course, because corydalis is good for relaxation and pain relief (the latter of which I don't benefit from it) so using a tea with caffeine would defeat the purpose in my mind. I like that this product is produced in the USA and inspected for quality, etc. Highly recommend if you can get past the taste and texture.
