Description
Peaceful Shen eases disharmony between the Gallbladder and Stomach, presenting with an accumulation of Phlegm Heat. It transforms Phlegm and calms the Heart, and is particularly helpful for disturbances of Spirit due to Heart and Gallbladder deficiency. Phlegm Heat in the Stomach creates a sensation of constraint, nausea, poor digestion, and a possible sensation of gnawing hunger.
As Phlegm Heat rises in the body, affecting the Heart, one may experience palpitations, dizziness, vertigo, vomiting, insomnia, anxiety, and irritability. The Mind, agitated by Phlegm, becomes restless, possibly manifesting as alternating manic and depressive behavior. This formula is appropriate for Spirit (Shen) disturbances as well as Stomach and Gallbladder Heat, and Phlegm accumulation. Peaceful Shen resolves and drains Phlegm Heat, restores the natural flow of Qi, and harmonizes the interactions of the Stomach and Gallbladder, while tonifying the Gallbladder and Heart, and reduces anxiety, palpitations, and irritability.
