Excerpts from "The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook" (Tillotson, et.al.)

SALVIA ROOT (Salvia miltiorrhiza)

Latin: Salvia miltiorrhiza Chinese: Dan shen  English: Asian red sage  

Salvia root is bitter in taste, and slightly cold in action. It promotes blood circulation while reducing general of blood vessel inflammation. It has anti-arteriosclerotic properties

SAFETY ISSUES: Should not be used while taking anticoagulant medications such as Wayfarin unless under the direction of a qualified health care practitioner. Bleeding may result (Izzat et al., 1998).

Do not use internally in tincture form. In very rare cases Salvia may thin the blood too much and cause increased bruising, in which case the dosage should be lowered or stopped.

. . . TCM doctors use salvia root to invigorate and move the blood. . . . etc.
