Use of the formula according to Traditional Chinese Medicine:

  • calms the Shen spirit, stabilises emotions
  • regulates the Qi mechanism
  • anchors yang, nourishes yin
  • alleviates fear

Description:

The mixture is intended primarily for the treatment of emotional disorders caused by instability of the Shen spirit, which resides in the heart and is responsible for our personality, thoughts, emotions, and how we relate to the world around us. It depends on sufficient nourishment – primarily blood, which is its main fuel. It is like us – when we are fed, we are content, or conversely – when we are hungry and "don't know what to do...". Furthermore, sufficient nourishment also allows for quality sleep. When there is little of it, the spirit is restless during the night, we cannot fall asleep, sleep is only light, or we wake up, often early in the morning, while it is still dark, and then we cannot fall asleep again. During the day, anything can then "throw us off", and we very easily fall into various fears and anxieties. We are nervous, anxious. Very often, heart palpitations occur, especially in the evening, at rest, after lying down in bed, and sometimes we even find it harder to breathe. We are tired, sometimes even lethargic, with a depressive mood. In women, this state is sometimes associated with menopause or the premenstrual period – and then An Shen Ding Zhi Wan is a great choice.

It contains herbs that nourish the heart and liver, calm the spirit, and regulate the Qi mechanism by anchoring rising yang, but also by "opening" the clear orifices, i.e., helping us to perceive the world around us and the situations we find ourselves in with a "clear head".
