A Traditional Herbal Remedy to Nourish the Heart and Calm the Shen (Spirit)
 
An Shen Ding Zhi Wan is a classical herbal formula used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to address conditions related to Heart Qi deficiency and Shen disturbance. This calming formula is traditionally prescribed to support emotional well-being, settle restlessness, and improve sleep quality.
 
Key Traditional Functions:
