Gan Mai Da Zao Tang has been helping people for over 1800 years, and it is a gentle formula with little side effects. Traditionally indicated for a tendency to weep and a feeling of excessive sadness, the formula combines gentle tonifying and calming effects to bring comfort and happiness. Suited for people that are prone to stress and overwork, this eloquent combination is soothing and comforting, relieving emotional upset such as mild mood changes, occasional worry and loss of sleep.†
In Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the pattern Gan Mai Da Zao Tang (Wan) deals with is one of internal dryness that produces heat and agitation. The mechanism is one of emotional stress or excessive thought and preoccupation, which causes liver Qi constraint. This transforms into fire, damaging Yin and consuming fluids, resulting in deficiency of the spleen and heart. This formula tonifies the spleen, nourishes the heart, and relieves tension and agitation.
Gan Mai Da Zao Tang is composed of three herbs: Gan Cao (Licorice root), Xiao Mai (Wheat grain), and Da Zao (Jujubes). To this ancient base, Yu Jin (Curcuma root), Yuan Zhi (Polygala root), and Shi Chang Pu (Acorus rhizome) have been added to benefit the mind, calm the spirit, and promote positive moods.
In this formula, Wheat grain nourishes the Yin and Qi of the heart, calms the spirit, an clears deficient heat. Jujube fruit nourishes the blood and the heart, and calms the spirit. Licorice root tonifies the spleen, clears heat, and helps target the heart and spirit. Together, the formula nourishes the blood, boosts the spleen, and calms the spirit. †
The presence of Curcuma root in this formula helps to move Qi and resolve constrained emotions while clearing heat. Polygala root helps to nourish the heart and calm the spirit, and it supports restful sleep and healthy brain function as well as supports emotional well-being. Acorus rhizome calms the spirit and clarifies the mind, helping the person to stay calm and focused.
