FORMULA EXPLANATION
Calm (ES) is one of the most potent herbal formulas to treat emotional and psychological disorders. In addition to regulating Liver qi and purging Liver fire, it calms the shen (spirit) and tranquilizes the Heart. Clinically, it is commonly used for patients with severe emotional distress or mild psychological disorders. Furthermore, it can also be used to treat withdrawal signs and symptoms commonly associated with substance addiction.
Long Gu (Os Draconis) and Mu Li (Concha Ostreae) are mineral medicinal substances commonly used to anchor the floating Shen (spirit). They have tranquilizing and sedative effects, which can subdue the hyperactivity of Liver fire. Gou Teng (Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis) treats headaches associated with a sudden blood pressure rise. Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae) and Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) clear heat and relieve irritability. Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri) disperses stagnant Liver qi, and Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) nourishes Liver blood. Xi Yang Shen (Radix Panacis Quinquefolii), Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae), Fu Ling (Poria), Sheng Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens), and Da Zao (Fructus Jujubae) strengthen and harmonize the middle jiao and prevent the Liver from overacting on the Spleen. Gui Zhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi) and Chuan Xiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong) promote qi and blood circulation. Suan Zao Ren (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae) and Xie Cao (Radix et Rhizoma Valerianae) calm the Heart and nourish the shen (spirit). Gan Cao (Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae) harmonizes all the herbs in the formula and protects the stomach against the harshness of the mineral medicinal substances in this formula.

BACKGROUND
Stress is a normal physical and psychological reaction to the demands of life. Most people experience challenges with mental or physical stress regularly. When confronted with stress, the body responds with a burst of hormones to empower the organism to cope and survive – a reaction that is labeled as the “fight-or-flight” response. However, once the stress is gone, the body is supposed to return to a normal relaxed state. Unfortunately, the constant stress of modern life often keeps the body in a constantly stressed state. Over time, continually living in a stressed state coupled with an absence of relaxed states leads to serious health problems.
