Insomnia & Sleep (失眠)

A small, carefully chosen range of the herbs and preparations traditionally associated with rest. It includes loose herbs such as suan zao ren (sour jujube seed), he huan hua (silktree albizia flower) and fu ling (poria), ready-made teas from Beijing Tongrentang, several Black Pearl concentrated formulas, and mugwort foot-bath packs for the evening routine.

Traditional use

In Chinese medicine, poor sleep is rarely addressed on its own. The classical texts connect restlessness to the Heart and Liver systems, and the formulas here reflect that — several also appear in our stress and female health ranges, because the traditional thinking regards them as related rather than separate concerns.

Many customers use the loose herbs in a simple evening tea or in soup rather than taking pills. If that is new to you, ask and we will explain how the herb is normally prepared.
