Herbal Medicine For Health  

Depression & Anxiety Herbs

Chinese medicine largely views depressive disorders as Liver Qi (vital energy flow) stagnation. Qi is believed to regulate human spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and over time Liver Qi stagnation may also start to effect the heart, spleen, and kidneys. Spleen deficiencies lead to fatigue and digestion problems which causes phlegm accumulation and affects mental functioning. Phlegm problems may also affect the heart which can cause insomnia, anxiety and restlessness. Since the kidneys are the core foundation of the theories of Yin and Yang, they are believed to be very involved in causing depression and anxiety.

In addition to the herb formulas on this page, many depressives find relief when they take mild Yin Tonics in higher doses for 3 to 6 months followed by lower maintenance dosing. Yin Tonics are famous for brightening mood and have energizing effects on many people with very rare side effects.

Yin, Yang, Harmony & Balance
Western doctors tend to treat single organs while herbal medicines treat the whole body. Like an Orchestra your kidneys, liver, spleen, lungs, pancreas and heart must work in harmony to generate vital Qi energy and health. When one organ malfunctions all others are effected and herbal medicines restore health by harmonizing all the body's organs. Chinese medicine formulas almost never contain single herbs, instead synergistic formulas with multiple herbs are used to make them more effective than single herbs. Many contain "adaptagens" which reduce activity in overactive organs and increase activity in underactive organs to balance Yin & Yang and normalize health.

Wen Dan Tablets / Caulis Bambusae In Taeniam Formula   Information Resources

Wen Dan also know as Wen Dan Tang in Chinese and means Warm the Gallbladder. It's a famous ancient Chinese formula which has been used extensively by people with general anxiety disorders and insomnia due to phlegm heat. The therapeutic action of Wen Dan Tang is to clear heat from the Gall-Bladder, harmonize the Stomach, regulate Qi and transform Phlegm. In Chinese Medicine the gallbladder is the source of courage and when phlegm causes heat in the gallblader and stomach, organ imbalances result and physical symptoms occur. Gallbladder heat may result in fear, anxiety, restlessness and dreams. Stomach heat may cause nausea and or vomiting,

In a recent study Wen Dan Tang was used to treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The results concluded that the efficacy of Wen Dan Tang was comparable to treatment with the drug Fluoxetine which is commonly known as Prozac in the US. Of the 34 patients who took Wen Dan Tang 12 were cured and 15 showed marked improvement. Importantly, patients taking Wen Dan Tang reported few adverse side effects while patients taking Fluoxetine reported a variety of adverse reactions. Herbal formulas commonly produce far fewer adverse reactions than most drugs.
