Ding Kun Dan –
Regulates, Replenishes & Restores Female Vitality
Calming the Minds of
Women in the Imperial Palace
Ding Kun Dan first appeared in 1739, in the fourth year of the reign of
Emperor Qian Long, when the imperial concubines were so melancholic that
most of them fell sick easily. This had a negative impact on the royal
succession line. A prescription was then developed by the Imperial Medical
College for these concubines. This gynecological medication was so effective
that it delighted Emperor Qian Long, who subsequently bestowed it the name
“Ding Kun Dan”, which means “calming the minds of women in the Imperial
Palace”, and it was listed as a “Panacea used in the Palace”. Empress
Dowager Ci Xi herself was so impressed after taking Ding Kun Dan, that she
personally wrote a tablet in honour of its efficacy bearing the words “For
Peace and Prosperity”.
A Superior Herbal
Remedy to Gynecological Woes
Ding Kun Dan consists of 30 rare and cleverly combined medicinal herbs such
as Radix Ginseng, Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Stigma Croci and Faeces
Trogopterori. It is used to treat a broad range of gynecological problems
including menstrual disorders, post partum deficiencies, menopausal
symptoms and infertility. Its efficacy has been unprecedented and well
documented since ancient times.
Regulates the
Menstrual Cycle & Restores Vitality
Ding Kun Dan regulates menstruation, nourishes qi and blood, and soothes the
depressed liver. Used in the treatment of irregular menstrual cycles,
dysmenorrheal (menstrual cramps), leucorrhea (white vaginal discharge), body
weakness due to anemia, blood loss, abnormal uterine bleeding, dizziness,
post partum deficiencies and hot flushes. It provides all-round treatment by
strengthening the spleen, nourishing the kidney and improving blood
circulation. It is an excellent medicine in the clinical treatment of yang
deficiency of the spleen and kidney, as well as various gynecological
conditions associated with blood stasis.

Uncovering
the Science Behind
Ding Kun Dan was put through the rigors of lab testing to reveal more about
its pharmacology:
·
Pain
relief effects:
Large doses of Ding Kun Dan significantly reduced the frequency of body
twitching by pure bred mice whose abdomens were injected with a specific
amount of glacial acetic acid.
·
Reduction in blood viscosity:
Ding Kun Dan lowered the pressure index of red blood cells in mice. There
was a significant reduction in total blood viscosity under conditions of
both high and low shear rates.
·
Strengthening of the immune function:
Ding Kun Dan significantly increased the weight of both the thymus and lymph
glands of pure bred mice. In addition, it strengthened the phagocytosis
ability of beta cells.
In clinical observations, 85.6% of 200 patients treated with Ding Kun Dan
showed significant improvements in a wide range of gynecological conditions
ranging from light menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycle, amenorrhoea
(absence of menstruation) and dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) to menopausal
symptoms and infertility. Patients started experiencing regular periods with
increased flow, relief in menstrual cramps, reduction in menopausal symptoms
while those suffering from infertility were able to conceive.
