This formula was created by Zhang Jingyue (1536-1640 A.D.) for patients with liver Qi constraint and symptoms of depression, irritability, fullness and congestion in the chest, epigastrium and rib cage, accompanied by indigestion, belching, and abdominal bloating. For excessive liver Qi constraint, this formula is more suitable than the other commonly used formula, Xiao Yao Wan, which targets mild liver Qi constraint secondary to both liver and spleen deficiency. Research has shown this formula to significantly increase blood flow in the brain and tranquilize the central nervous system. This is considered the basis of its effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety, and nervousness. It increases the blood flow in the liver, promotes the production of bile, and improves liver function. In experimental animal lab tests, it has been shown to also improve tolerance to lack of oxygen. ACTIONS: Pacifies and facilitates liver Qi. RECOMMENDATIONS: Premenstrual Syndrome, liver disease, digestive disorders, and other problems due to excessive liver Qi constraint with symptoms of depression, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, abdominal bloating, belching, etc. SUGGESTED USE: Take 2 or 3 pills with water as a food supplement, three times daily. For PMS, take this formula 1 or 2 weeks before menstruation.
