Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

• harmonises the psyche

Description:

What ensures sufficiently high-quality and long sleep? To calm down beautifully for sleep and not wake up at night, we must primarily have two organs and their "souls" in order. The heart, the emperor, and its Shen soul, but also the liver and the Hun soul. What they need is nourishment and peace. The Shen soul is our personality, our long-term memory. It evaluates everything we come into contact with during our lives. The Hun soul resides in the eyes during the day, recognises the world and mediates information to the Shen. At night, both souls rest; it is said that they "bathe in blood". When there is little blood in the pool, they cannot submerge and are restless. The Hun flies away and we have many, often very wild dreams. And because they are not calmed, they are bothered by anything: the slightest sound, light, even our dreams... Moreover, if there is little blood, stagnation occurs and heat arises. And that makes insomnia even worse. It mainly bothers the Shen soul, which becomes restless. We are nervous, irritable, and find it difficult to calm down for sleep at all. A great deficiency of blood can also turn into a deficiency of yin, and the whole body is additionally bothered by symptoms of empty heat.

Te Xiao Zao Ren An Mian Wan primarily replenishes the blood of the heart and liver, thereby not only providing fuel but also "drowning the fire", especially the empty one, to which the cooling anemarrhena also contributes. The third component of the mixture is herbs that further calm, including anchoring amber and cat's claw.

The mixture does not only work for sleep problems, but generally calms, for example, in cases of hypertension due to a deficiency of blood and yin. It also supports a positive mood and harmonises our psyche.
