064 SHU GAN WAN – Calming the Windstorm

Herbal formula based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles

This traditional herbal formula is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is associated with harmonizing the relationship between the Liver (肝 gān) and the Stomach (胃 wèi), particularly in states of Qi stagnation and internal tension.

In TCM, the Liver ensures the smooth flow of Qi. When this flow is disrupted, stagnation arises and may affect digestion, leading to sensations of pressure, discomfort, and imbalance in the digestive system.

The formula contains herbs traditionally associated with moving Qi, harmonizing digestion, and relieving tension.
