Herbs That Stabilize and Bind
Function Overview
Stabilizing and binding herbs most often have sour and astringent properties. They are useful for conditions involving excess discharges or structures slipping from proper positions (uterine prolapse, excessive sweat, diarrhea, excessive urination). These herbs must be combined with appropriate herbs or formulas to treat the root cause of these conditions, most often deficiency syndromes. Generally these herbs will only treat isolated aspects of these conditions.
