Understanding the Ingredients

This traditional Chinese herbal formula, also known as Yi Gan San Jia Chen Pi Ban Xia, brings together three well-known herbs: Bupleurum (Chai Hu), Citrus (Chen Pi), and Pinellia (Ban Xia). In traditional Chinese medicine, Bupleurum is commonly used to soothe the liver and relieve stagnation. Citrus (aged tangerine peel) helps regulate qi, dry dampness, and transform phlegm. Pinellia is known for descending rebellious qi, making it helpful for nausea and phlegm. Together, these herbs create a balanced formula that addresses both emotional and physical symptoms.

This convenient format allows you to easily incorporate the classic combination of Bupleurum, Citrus, and Pinellia into your wellness routine.

Menopause and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Menopause is a natural transition that can bring various physical and emotional changes. Many women experience hot flushes, mood swings, insomnia, and nervous tension. In traditional Chinese medicine, these symptoms are often attributed to liver qi stagnation and yin deficiency. The Bupleurum, Citrus, and Pinellia formula is one of many TCM formulae designed to help rebalance the body during this time. By supporting the liver and calming the spirit, it may help ease the transition.
