Xiao Yao San 100 capsules

About Xiao Yan San

Xiao Yan San comes from a thousand-year-old natural remedy. The formula is now used as a dietary supplement for stress management, depression, and other manifestations of liver qi stagnation.

Studies have proven that the traditional Chinese medicine formula can regulate the secretion of hormones that are stimulated or inhibited by the hypothalamus-pituitary function, as well as help treat gynecological diseases. The formula also contributes to a harmonious stomach function, calms down the liver, and increases the energy of the spleen. In addition, Xiao Yan San supports a healthy hippocampal neuron function (the hippocampal neurons are viral components of the functioning of the human brain) in people with chronic stress.

Xiao Yao San means “Free & Easy Wanderer” and the primary idea behind its development was to help bring the body and mind back into balance, allowing you to deal with difficulties or problems calmly, without letting them negatively affect your health.

Decoding Liver Qi Stagnation

A healthy liver has balanced energy that has been achieved by proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Imbalances in the liver energy can worsen symptoms like vertigo, hay fever, headaches, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). They also reduce one’s energy levels and can make you have sudden bursts and feeling a bit more short-tempered than usual. One of the things that affect almost all organs within the body, including the liver, is stress, which in western medicine causes the liver qi to “get stuck”. If the depression, sadness, and other blocked emotions are not dealt with or expressed appropriately, the liver qi stagnates further, which, in turns, leads to other symptoms.

Some of the manifestations of an imbalanced liver qi are:

• Anxiety
• Irritability
• Lassitude
• Tidal fever
• Hypochondriac pain
• Eye and/or mouth dryness
• Headaches
• Night sweating (or spontaneous sweating)
• Reduced appetite
• Difficult & painful urination
• Abdominal pain
• Irregular menstruation
• Endometriosis
• Palpitation
• Flushing-up
• Peptic ulcer
• Leukoderma
• Infertility
• Chronic fatigue

Xiao Yao San Formula Ingredients
