What does it do?

Support Your Mood

You've tried eating better. And exercising more. You've even paid more attention to how you breathe. And you're more conscious of not always acting on your emotions. You may feel better but you know you have a long way to go until you'd consider yourself "happy."

Being happy takes daily work. Once you get there, it's not like you cross the finish line and then that's it. You still have to eat right, exercise, manage stress and take the right supplements. You need something more to get you over the hump so you can begin to feel even better.

Xiao Yao Wan is one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formulas. This all-natural botanically-sourced remedy may help support your mood. Because of the way Xiao Yao Wan works, it can also result in other positive health outcomes.

Powerful Ancient Formula For Modern-Day Stress Management

Just like happiness comes from within, unhappiness does not arise from external factors but has its core physiological root cause from a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective.

Taken over a sustained period of time, Xiao Yao Pian tablets (or Xiao Yao Wan pills, if you prefer) may negate the effects of modern-day stress and help regulate your mood by addressing the root cause of internal disharmony in your body.

How Does Xiao Yao Pian Work?

Xiao Yao Pian works by clearing Liver stagnation.

Sure, worry about your bills and financial future, spiritual disconnectedness, relationship troubles and lack of fulfilling career may all affect how you view the world. And these stressors may seem impossible to overcome. But even external stressors can be managed when the Liver meridians are flowing unimpeded.

When Liver Qi (internal life force) is impeded, both physical and psychological imbalances may occur. But given enough time - a minimum of four weeks is recommended; noticeable results may occur in less time - Xiao Yao Pian (Wan) effectively breaks up Liver Qi stagnation.

Life stressors may become easier to deal with and your perspective about how serious these stressors really are may change for the better.

Individual Herbal Spotlight

Collectively, the all-natural herbs in Xiao Yao San sooth the Liver to disperse depressed Qi, strengthen the Spleen to nourish the Blood, and support a normal menstrual cycle.

Chai Hu (Bupleurum root) soothes the Liver to disperse the depressed Qi. Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica root) and Bai Shao (White peony root) nourish the Blood and the Liver. These first three herbs interact together to resolve the root cause of Liver Qi stagnation, as well as Blood deficiency.

Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizome) and Fu Ling (Poria) strengthen the middle warmer and reinforce the Spleen, thereby enriching the generation of Qi and Blood. Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger rhizome) regulates the stomach and warms the middle warmer. Bo He (Peppermint) assists Chai Hu in soothing the Liver to disperse depressed Qi. Gan Cao (Licorice root) assists Bai Zhu and Fu Ling in replenishing Qi and invigorating the middle warmer; it also coordinates the synergistic effects of all the herbs in this formula.

Together, these herbs work together to powerfully, but safely, improve the life force (Qi) of the Liver. Xiao Yao Pian may make you feel happier. If you feel stressed out or are prone to mood swings, Xiao Yao Pian may help. There's probably a lot of beauty in your life that currently may be hard to see. Given time, Xiao Yao Pian may help you to see more of that beauty.

Does Research Support Xiao Yao Pian?

Because Xiao Yao Wan is widely dispensed by TCM practitioners, many clinical studies have been conducted to verify its traditional use in Chinese medicine. In these studies, the collective results indicated that Xiao Yao San is beneficial on supporting a healthy mood.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from The great feeling that I looked for I have used this few years ago and was very very happy. I found this product to be very effective and very helpful for my overall mood. So when I felt I needed it again, I went online and was happy to find it again. The prices and the service were great. This is the second time I got 6 of them and as I was very happy with it, I suggested it to few of my friends and gave them to try. They were thrilled as I was when I first took Xiao Yao Wan. My acupuncturist told me to take it and I take 2-3 times a day. Each time I take 5-7 pills. There were times that I needed more, so I took more. I feel balanced. I feel relaxed and not so anxiset.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from A keeper for emotional support / smooth menstruation This is my SOS pill! It's been helpful to smooth out occasional emotional/hormonal ups and downs, whether it is related to menstruation cycles or mere stress. Since such symptoms are occasional in my case, I take it only as needed and it works fine. I just make sure I keep this in my medicine cabinet. This also greatly helped my sister's emotional crisis when she was overwhelmed with raising four kids who were all under ten - I just happened visiting her then and shared my Xiao Yao Pian. She was very impressed and now keeps a bottle for herself.

It helps me to relax and let go of negative feelings. I've seen a big difference in my mood when I do not take them. Thanks so much for having them at a great price and providing excellent service.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Eases hunger and cravings!!! Ease Tonic was suggested by my acupuncturist for a fasting and reduced calorie way of eating. This herb, taken at a 3X the dose (24 tablets 3x daily) really stopped the hunger and cravings! This recommended way of eating wouldn't be possible for me without this herbal blend. It nourishes your organs and body while you learn to reduce calories!. I was bale to look at my relationship with food and see clearly, that most craving was emotional, not hunger! Its amazing!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well... and tastes good too. It really does seem to work to ease tension and calm me. I shouldn't feel tense but a lack of sleep can bring that on. This formula is better than other brands I've tried. I really feel the difference.

    Hello, I am looking at the heavy metal tests results and there are two columns titled 'results, for the same metals, with different quantities. Could you please direct me to the info on how to interpret these data? Thanks!

    Asked by: ughall

    What do you mean by "Not suitable for heavy menstrual flow."? My daughter wants to use this but she has a heavy menstrual flow every month. Does it mean she can't use it at all or just during her period?

    Asked by: chuck108

    Is this not something that only a practitioner can purchase?  I’m a bit wary because another site said so....  can you clarify?
