A Proven, Research-Backed Traditional Chinese Herbal Formula
Modern research on traditional herbs commonly used in formulas that support emotional balance, cognitive wellness, and healthy nervous system function has explored the biological activities of Poria (Fu Ling), Pinellia Tuber (Ban Xia), and Agarwood (Chen Xiang). Studies published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology have investigated the traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological properties of Poria, including its antioxidant, neuroprotective, and immune-regulating activities.
Additional research published in Frontiers in Pharmacology has examined the active compounds found in Poria and their potential role in supporting healthy neurological function, inflammatory balance, and physiological homeostasis. Research on Agarwood (Chen Xiang) has also explored its traditional use in supporting emotional balance, calming the mind, and promoting healthy central nervous system function, while studies on Pinellia Tuber have investigated its historical role in formulas traditionally used to transform phlegm and support neurological and digestive balance.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, long-term disturbances involving seeing, hearing, or sensing things that are not present are traditionally associated with internal patterns involving Phlegm, Heat, and Blood Stasis obstructing the Heart and Liver. Classical herbal formulas are designed to transform Phlegm, regulate Qi, calm the Shen (Spirit), and restore balance to support long-term mental and emotional wellness.
