CLASS NOTES APRIL 29

Upset shen/mind- anxiety, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, poor concentration, palpitation.
Root: Heat in heart, xu deficiency, blood deficiency

Hun- yang spirit. Protecting us in the daytime. Hun linked to the function of the liver.
Po- yin spirit. Protecting us in the nighttime. Po is linked to the function of the lung.
Yi- need food, warmth, fresh air from Spleen
Zhi- the willpower normally found in the kidney.
Shen- Heart
Emotions- 7 emotions.
ADHD- Problem of the Shen. Shen is residence in the heart. The Shen needs the Hun and the Po
to regulate itself. When there is heat in the heart, or heart deficiency, or heart blood deficiency-
this creates a lot of issues in the Shen.

Also when the pericardium is not working well, the Shen can shut down. When this happens the
person looses consciousness. The pericardium can close with phlegm. Phlegm occupies the
pericardium. The pericardium can not keep it open or closed.

The 13 ghost points are aimed to treat the spirit.

Insomnia- comes with a variety of issues. 1 hour exercise works better than any herbs. Then
come back, have a shower and a drink, no eating. Go to bed.

How does TCM view PTSD? Not found in TCM documents. Relatively New. For China
recommendation for PTSD is still officially a problem because there is no formal diagnosis.
Therefore, no reports from China on how to treat PTSD because it doesn’t get funding. It could
get recognized in China in the military, but they do not publish anything about the military in
China. So therefore there is no research within PTSD. Flashback means the Hun is not settled.
When the Hun experiences a trauma, the Hun takes a long time to digest it. For many people, the
Hun has to carry this memory day and nighttime, so for TCM it is the problem of the Hun
because the Hun can not process it appropriately. In TCM we have two group of practitioners: 1.
Suppress and stop the liver wind. Hopefully this can suppress the memory. Pearl Powder. He
thinks this is a bad strategy. What we need is to strengthen the liver so the people can have a
powerful and workable liver to help the Hun process and wipe out the bad memories. Therefore,
he would rather recommend the formula to harmonize the liver.

In clinical practice, the more herbs given to the patients, the response is less effective. In China,
they tend to put 4 or 5 formulas together to get a big prescription. Example is the treatment of
Covid 19- they had 19 herbs for the treatment. This is why they didn’t see great results.
Eventually the ones that work much better have less herbs.

Chest tightness is a self protective mechanism. Comes with stress.

Main herbs to calm the shen-

Zhu Sha- not available in Europe. Its Mercury. Powerful poison and can cause long term
damage. Still available in Asia.
Chang pu – relieves anxiety. Resolves Phlegm in the pericardium.
Yuan zhi – Relieves anxiety. Resolves Phlegm in the pericardium.
Chang pu + Yuan Zhi = USED TOGETHER

Fu Ling- relieves dampness. Mild for Shen.

Zhi zi- Heat clearing category in the heart. Not the strongest.

Mostly taken in the evening. Permanent damage in brain. Used in more than 200 Chinese
products. Banned outside of China. In an old Chinese herbal book- noted as a safe miracle. It
goes into our intestines into our blood stream and goes into our nervous system. It combines
chemically into our neural transmittors. Our transmittors becomes locked due to the heavy
metals..which slows down the nervous system. Tiny doses, calms us down. Large doses, painless
death. Bright red color. Chinese thought this color was very spiritually powerful. Used by
medicine people and witchcraft.

Suan Zao Ren- Herb and the food. Good source of food supplement. Totally safe. Wild
Chinese Date. Wild forms are much more effective. If you put this product in your mouth and it
tastes very sour, this is a low quality product. The outside flesh of this fruit is very sour…the
medicine is the sweet fleshy part. If you have very sour taste, the medicine is only 50% full of
the medicine property.

For calming down the Shen- 15-30 grams a day. 30 grams in the evening. Before Dinner. Takes
2-3 hours to get to the maximum effect. Or 2 hours before the time of sleep. For this particular
purpose this plant is developed in the liquid form. Liquid from is absorbed faster and only takes
one hour to work. Only use one week only in this way. Ideally 3-5 days. After using for 10 days,
the plant loses its power and stops being as effective. Then you need 3 months to restore the
body to respond to the medicine again.
Anxiety- tranquilizing effect. Good for spontaneous sweating and palpitations.
30 grams of Suan Zao Ren can achieve 70% of the same results of 500g of benzodiaprene.

think to only use the main stem of the plant. Latin: Caulis Polygoni Multiflori. Polygonum Vine.

Jing Jie- Combined with Fang Feng is the best combo for all wind.
Bo He- because all of the herbs in this formula are warm/hot, we must give the
balance with a colder herb.
Gan cao- harmonize.
Green tea- colder herb to give balance. Used to be used with a raw tea leaf. We
need 9 grams. Equivalent of 3 tea bags. Or 4 teaspoons of gunpowder tea. Or you
can grind the green tea into powder to blend in hot water to drink with the powder.
THESE DAYS: USE JAPANESE MATCHA TEA. Green powder ground up into
a concentrated powder. Need to add at least 2 teaspoons of hot water blended to
drink with the herb together. The tea is so important because according to the
research, raw tea leaf of green tea has a great benefit of preventing migraine and
relieving pain and headache. Modern day: people use paracetomol + caffiene +
vitamin C. This is because when caffiene is combined with pain relievers it
increases the pain relieving effect by 40-50%.
Use for 3-7 days. When the headache has stopped, then the qi and blood must be
regulated. When a person feels a migraine coming on, then they take 2 doses.
This can prevent 70 of the migraine. Keep taking it for 3 days to prevent the

In clinical practice we always use multiple herbs for situations that need
harmonizing. Liver qi stagnation can lead to multiple/complicated syndrome,
co-existing of heat and cold, shao-yang syndrome (half in and half out),
conditions involving more than one organ. Knowing how to use harmonizing
formulas will allow us much better results than putting lots of formulas
together.
HARMONIZING FORMULAS-
address more than one pathology.
CHAI HU + BAI SHAO= never over 6 months. For
people over 50, 3 months maximum.

lead to cold limbs.

Ingredient:
Chai Hu- 9 gram a day. Slightly cold nature. MOVES UP. Clearing heat from
Shaoyang. Chai hu can be used for treating wind attack. However here it is using
its power to rise and spread and goes to the liver channel. It takes the liver power
and lets the liver do its job of spreading liver qi. When the liver is mobilized and
put into a high level of activity, the liver is at high risk to be overused and be
exhausted. This is why we combine it with Bai Shao.
Shao Yao (Bai Shao is preferred)- 12 grams a day. Provides protection to the
liver so the liver isn’t exhausted and damaged.
Zhi Shi- Green orange dried up. MOVES DOWN. Opposite to Chai hu. Chai hu is
upward, Zhi Shi is downward moving.
