AC-Q
Supports Relief From
Lower body pain, stiffness, post-stroke weakness, or arthritis
Also Consider If: You’re recovering from a sports injury, living with arthritis, or experiencing pain that gets worse in cold, damp weather.
How It Works Holistically
AC-Q™ supports the body's natural healing response to chronic joint and muscle discomfort — particularly in the lower body, including the hips, legs, and back. This formula helps unblock stagnant pathways, allowing fresh circulation to reach areas that feel stiff, heavy, or sore. It works by gently invigorating blood flow, soothing internal tension, and helping the body clear out accumulations that may be slowing down recovery.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these symptoms often reflect patterns of cold, wind, and damp lodged in the channels. AC-Q™ is designed to warm, disperse, and restore fluid movement, supporting a deeper sense of alignment and ease from within.
When AC-Q™ Is Right for You
Reach for this formula when pain worsens with cold weather, feels deep or dull rather than sharp, or has lingered despite rest and other remedies. It’s especially useful after injury, overuse, or during seasonal transitions that leave the body feeling stuck or heavy.
AC-Q™ may also be used topically as a warm compress to concentrate its effects in one area. Because it works on both surface symptoms and underlying circulation patterns, it’s best used with guidance from a practitioner who can align it with your specific needs.
