BALANCE SPIRIT: Anti-anxiety & Sleep Aid Herbal Tincture

Here’s an ideal herbal formulation for someone with an overactive nervous system causing the body to remain stuck in the flight or fight mode, manifesting in physical symptoms such as racing thoughts, poor sleep, and anxiety. The combination of herbs used has a synergistic effect to calm the mind without causing drowsiness. Because traditional Chinese medicine’s approach is to treat the underlying cause, the key ingredients in this formulation target the kidney organ, which is regarded as the source of grounding, being seen as the root of the Chi. In Chinese medicine, symptoms like insomnia and anxiety is a byproduct of the instability of your Source Energy/Yuan Chi, hence causing energetic chaos and turbulence systemically in the body. It’s like a boat unanchored, allowing it to run rampant because it is not appropriately reined in. In addition to its calming effect, it also helps with forgetfulness and light- headedness. Kidneys in Chinese medicine govern cognitive function so one of the benefits using this blend of Chinese herbs is sharper mental acuity. Insomnia is usually caused by hormonal imbalance, an overproduction of cortisol/stress hormone which disallows the body to get into its relaxation state. This is often associated with emotional stress causing a disturbance in your Spirit/Shen. When the Spirit is agitated, the central nervous system becomes hyperactive, wreaking havoc everywhere. The aim of this herbal remedy is to nourish and calm the Shen to bring the body back into a state of equilibrium.
