In Traditional Chinese medicine, Corydalis is believed to invigorate the blood and stimulate the movement of qi throughout the body. It has been used for menstrual pain, as well as abdominal pain, nerve pain, and back pain. Corydalis, or Yan Hu Suo, has been studied for other medical conditions as well that include pain that is caused by intense cold, irregular heart rhythm, chest pain, and bacterial infections. It is considered to be especially useful for fighting stomach ulcers. Its medicinal properties lie in the roots and rhizomes. Corydalis root tincture is used for its analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, sedative, tranquilizing, hypotensive and as a cardiotonic. It contains more than 20 potent alkaloids that include dehydrocorydalmine, protopine, cordylines, and tetrahydropalmatine. And though it is similar to the effects of opium poppy, Corydalis is non-addictive. The herbal extract of Corydalis has been used by herbalists for nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, and is also believed to be helpful for anxiety, restlessness, edginess, and sleeplessness. Corydalis herbal liquid is typically mixed with other herbs, by Chinese herbal practitioners, for example, Peony and
Licorice , to fight spastic pain.
American herbalists have used Corydalis Root tincture with
California Poppy tincture to treat nervousness, insomnia, anxiety, and agitation. The high alkaloid content makes Corydalis an effective remedy, when properly used, for palsy, trembling hands, and over-excitement. One of the alkaloids contained in the herb works on the nervous system and has been used as an ingredient in medications for Parkinson's disease. It has also been useful for Meniere's disease, a sudden attack, with dizziness, nausea, vomiting, a ringing in the ears, etc. Its sedative properties have been used to treat a wide range of conditions including distress and irritation, as well as restless leg syndrome (RLS). As a hypnotic, an agent that promotes or produces sleep without disturbing alertness and perceptiveness, this herb may be very helpful for those with insomnia. The alkaloids are tranquilizing and may increase the sleep-inducing effects of barbiturates. It has been found to be about 40 percent as effective as morphine for inducing sleep.
Considered to be an effective pain reliever, Corydalis liquid extract has been used to ease chest caused by clogged arteries, called angina, and abdominal pains, as well as back pain. Herbalists believe it to be beneficial in decreasing the pain caused by intense cold, pain during periods, headache pain, hernia pain, gallbladder pain and the pain caused by traumatic injuries. The herb is traditionally used as an analgesic, and it diminishes the pain without causing loss of consciousness. The Chinese Poppy plant, though non-addictive, has a powerful effect that can last as long as two hours, and those who have used the herbal supplement have not been shown to create a tolerance to the medicinal plant.
Various types of Corydalis have been included in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for gastritis-like disorders. It is also thought to be quite effective in the treatment of bacterial infections, especially from Helicobacter pylori in the stomach or ulcers. Early studies have shown that certain compounds found in Corydalis may help in the treatment of infections caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus caused by the Hydatid worm. More studies are being done in this area of treatment. The herb has also been used for increasing appetite and to promote digestion. As a blood stimulant, it helps to quicken the functional activity of soft tissue, giving more energy.
Corydalis root extracts have been looked at for diabetes and may help to slow the formation of cataracts associated with the disease.

Great product

I have been getting this product for my dad for about a year now and it has worked wonders for him. He suffers from RSD which is a pain disease that's incurable and this had helped manage the pain tremendously.
Highly recommend!

I started taking these drops back in April 2014 for pain from chronic pancreatitis skeptical of the results. After a few days I noticed my pain was minimal to nonexistent, where it's normally a 6 out of 10 everyday. The only thing is it didn't help with my breakthrough pain. Since it helps with normal pain I highly recommend this product. I take medication stronger than morphine just to function and this has almost eliminated its use. I have also found it works great for the withdrawals of pain meds.

I have not really noticed any significant changes or improvements in my aches and pains or inflammation but am continuing until product is gone. However, I have noticed that I am sleeping much better and the quality of my sleep has greatly improved, whether this is to this product, I cannot say, but whatever it is, I like it. Susan

I am not sure of the safe dosing. It certainly calmed down my dog. She became infected with Lyme disease and needed to calm down.

I had a horrible case of shingles last year. Consequently, I now have post herpetic neuralgia. Translation……P A I N. Since taking the corydalis I've had no pain at all … NONE. I take it before bed and I will never be without it.

Still a little early to say. Severe back pain seems to be alleviated after a few weeks of taking drops enough to confirm that I will buy again. Definitely taking fewer aspirin now. Check back.
Highly recomended

I have chronic pain from many surgeries due to injuries as a firefighter. I wanted to reduce or eliminate the heavy medications. This product works as Dr. Oz recommended. It only lasts about 3 to 4 hours, but no side effects and pain greatly reduced!

The Corydalis Root Extract did a decent job with my pain. It provide a somewhat sedative effect, which helped me sleep. However, the extract was not too effective when there was breakthrough pain, although I did take it several times a day.
