Description:

What ensures sufficient quality and long sleep? In order to sleep beautifully and not wake up at night, we must have two organs and their "souls" in order in the first place. The Heart, the Emperor, and his soul Shen, but also the Liver and the soul Hun. What they need is nourishment and peace. The Shen soul is our personality, our long-term memory. It evaluates everything we come into contact with during our lives. The Hun soul resides in the eyes during the day, learns about the world and conveys information to the Shen. At night both souls rest, they are said to "bathe in blood". When there is little blood in the pool, they can't dive in and are restless. The Hun flies away and we dream a lot, often very wild dreams. And how they are not calm - anything bothers them: the slightest sound, light, even our dreams... Moreover, if there is little blood, stagnation occurs and heat is generated. And that makes insomnia worse. It bothers Shen's soul, which is restless. We're nervous, irritable, hard to calm down for sleep. A great deficiency of blood can also turn into a deficiency of Yin, and the whole body is also bothered by symptoms of empty heat.

Te Xiao Zao Ren An Mian Wan first of all replenishes the blood of the Heart and Liver, thus not only supplying fuel but also "drowning the fire", especially the empty one, to which the cooling anemia contributes. The third component of the blend is herbs that further soothe, including anchoring amber and yarrow.

The blend does not only work for sleep problems, but is generally soothing for conditions such as hypertension from lack of blood and Yin. It also promotes a positive mood and harmonizes our psyche.
