Calm Shen (Jie Yu An Shen Pian) is an adjusted formula from the ancient recipes “Suan Zao Ren Tang”. In traditional Chinese, “Jie Yu” relates to easing emotional tension, while “An Shen” suggests calming or settling the spirit. The formula combines herbs traditionally selected for their gentle and grounding properties.
It is suitable for stress-related insomnia, anxiety, palpitation and irritability and depression. Chinese medicine believes that insomnia is a problem in the Heart. The Shen (spirit) does not stay at home (Heart) and insomnia occurs, which is related to the Yin-Yang Qi and Blood disorders of Liver, Gallbladder, Spleen, Stomach, and Kidney. Insufficiency of Yin and Blood leads to loss of Heart support and these are the main pathological changes of insomnia. Symptoms are lusterless complexion, tiredness, inability to sleep at night, palpitations and forgetfulness. Mostly due to Spleen Deficiency, failure of the Liver to store Blood, Kidney loss of Essence and Heart Blood Deficiency. Also due to excessive pressure of life and work, Liver Qi Stagnation and stagnated Qi entreating Heat, the mind gets disturbed which leads to insomnia and nightmares, upset and irritability, dry mouth. Calm Shen nourishes the Blood and calms the Shen, soothes the Liver and Qi. It is a formulation for treating insomnia and anxiety due to Deficiency of Liver Blood and Liver and Qi Stagnation.
Both Heavenly Emperor and Calm Shen are nourishing and tranquillizing formulas, which can be used to treat insomnia, anxiety and heart palpitations and restlessness due to Yin and Blood Deficiency. Calm Shen value the use of Suan Zao Ren (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae) to nourish the Blood and calm the mind, with Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri) and Yu Jin (Radix Curcumae) to smooth Liver Qi, so it focuses on nourishing the Liver and Blood and calming Shen. It is suitable for Liver Qi Stagnation and insomnia, anxiety and heart palpitations caused by stress. Heavenly Emperor nourishes the Yin of the Heart and Kidney and clears away the Heat. It focuses on insomnia, anxiety and palpitations due to Heart and Kidney Yin Deficiency and Heat Deficiency.

I find Calm Shen really helpful. It sort of reduces anxious feelings and helps me to put my lived experienc ein perspective. It’s not a miracle cure, but it does seem to help me to find a place in which I can put my feelings in persepctive more easily. I am glad I found it and hope it might also be helpful to you. No negative side effects I can feel, only the positives. Delivery procedure and comms are top shelf, swift and efficient. Maybe worth a try?

I have been on western medicine for my anxiety disorders for many years, and sleeping tablets to help me sleep. Calm Shen, with the help of other natural supplements, has helped me get off all of those nasty drugs that just supress the symptoms. Even if I have to take Calm Shen for the rest of my life, instead of the “drugs” I will be happy with that.
