Stress Relief, Chinese
Overview
Support emotional balance and help calm stress with this unique blend of Chinese herbs.
Stress Relief is a traditional Chinese formula that supports emotional balance and circulatory health and may help optimize stomach function.
Stress Relief provides a combination of 14 herbs and natural substances used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to support emotional balance and calm a stressed "fire" constitution.
The Chinese call this formula an shen, which can be translated to mean "to pacify the spirit".
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy names five distinct energies that permeate the body: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.
In order to feel your best, these energies must be in balance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine would consider this a "fire-quenching" formula.
Concerning the heart and mind, fire controls emotional states, mood and circulation of the blood.
To address your fire element, try Stress Relief (+).

How It Works
According to Eastern philosophy, life permits us to work with what we have on earth here and now—body and mind—in order to reclaim and maintain the innate energy and spirit that reside within us. Energy and spirit must be awakened, nurtured and balanced in order for life to flourish.
Under TCM philosophy, Stress Relief is designed to nourish the nervous system and subsequently help improve stomach function and strengthen the urinary system.
Oyster Shell
In Chinese medicine, oyster shell is considered to be calming and is used to relieve feelings of anxiousness and help calm the stomach. Oyster shell is often combined with other Chinese herbs as part of a formula for promoting emotional control. Oyster shell is principally made of calcium carbonate which is alkaline in nature and helps buffer stomach acid. Calcium also supports circulatory health.
Silk Tree Bark
Silk tree bark is known in Chinese medicine as the "tree of happiness", due to its ability to promote a healthier outlook on life. Silk tree bark has been used in TCM to "calm the spirit", easing feelings of anxiousness and mood problems and helping to improve sleep. Silk tree bark is believed to interact with brain neurotransmitters to promote a calm, balanced mood. Silk tree bark also offers antioxidant and immune system benefits.
Hoelen
Hoelen sclerotium has been used for centuries in TCM to “drain dampness” and increase urinary flow. Hoelen is used to correct urinary imbalances and help relieve congestion and feelings of heaviness in the body. Hoelen is valued as a tonic for the bladder and kidneys, as it helps to balance electrolytes. Hoelen also promotes immune system function. Plus, hoelen has been used in TCM formulas to help ease feelings of anxiousness and improve mood.
Asian Ginseng
Asian ginseng has been used for centuries to benefit both mental and physical health, including boosting energy, enhancing memory and concentration, promoting endurance and exercise performance, improving immune function, and elevating mood. Active constituents in the plant, called ginsenosides, support the glandular system and boost immune defenses. As an adaptogen, ginseng helps optimize bodily functions, supports the body’s efforts to achieve balance and adapt to stress, and is commonly used to promote energy and vitality.
Jujube
Jujube seed has been used in TCM for thousands of years to "nourish heart yin", "quiet the spirit", and address sleep problems. Jujube seed contains bitter compounds that help promote relaxation, combat feelings of anxiousness, and soothe the nervous system. Jujube seeds are also rich in antioxidants.
Licorice
Licorice has been a key part of many Chinese herbal formulas for thousands of years. Most Chinese herb combinations use licorice to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality and well-being. It has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance and for promoting well-being. Licorice root is also regarded as an adrenal/pituitary tonic. Licorice root contains compounds like glycyrrhizin and glabridin that promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Ginger
Ginger has been used as both food and medicine in Asia for thousands of years. Traditionally, ginger has helped with a laundry list of complaints, including joint discomfort, digestive complaints, circulatory health, and nervous system support. As ginger plays a role in energy regulation, it is said to also have a metabolic-boosting effect. Ginger is also believed to positively influence levels of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters associated with happiness and well-being.
