⚡ Chuan Xiong – The Mover of Blood and Spirit
Known in Chinese Medicine as Chuan Xiong, Szechuan Lovage Root (Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong) is a powerful herb for activating circulation, breaking through stagnation, and dispersing wind — both physical and energetic. It’s often called the "Herb That Moves the Blood," and in ritual use, it's prized for energizing intentions, unblocking creative force, and igniting movement where things feel stuck.
This root holds the energy of flowing willpower, dynamic clarity, and spiritual momentum. In occult practice, it can act like a catalyst — excellent for workings that require bold change, momentum, or assertive energetic push.
