Deer Horn Gelatin … Classic Formulas
Lu Jiao Jiao · Cervi Cornus Colla
Primary Actions
- Warms the Liver and Kidneys and supplements essence and blood - Lu Jiao Jiao is used for constitutional cold weakness, depleted jing, and lower-back or knee soreness.
- Stops bleeding in deficiency-cold patterns - traditional use includes uterine bleeding or chronic spotting when warming containment is needed beneath the surface loss.
- Strengthens sinews and bones - the dense processed glue is selected when deep deficiency affects structural recovery and lower-body strength.
Classic Formulas
- Guilu Erxian Jiao - classic deer-and-tortoise glue formula lineage for deep jing, blood, and bone depletion.
- Kidney-Yang and Chong-Ren deficiency formulas with Shu Di Huang, Dang Gui, or Ai Ye - traditional strategy when lumbar weakness and uterine bleeding coexist.
- You Gui Wan-style modifications - warming-essence approach when richer deer support is needed inside a broader Kidney-Yang formula.
Classical Text References
- Traditional teaching places Lu Jiao Jiao with warm deer medicinals that supplement Liver-Kidney essence while also helping secure chronic cold-type bleeding.
- Processing logic is central: the condensed gelatin form is understood as denser, richer, and more blood-nourishing than plain horn material.
