Irritability, irrational anger, and emotional stress are often rooted in feeling emotionally stuck. In East Asian Medicine, the Liver is associated with the upward and outward energy of Spring and the Wind that fills our sails that allows us to move forward in life. It also gives us the capacity to envision our path forward. When outward expansion is blocked, when the wind is too still to propel us forward, when our vision is unclear or cannot be actualized, there is Liver Qi stagnation- we feel stuck, frustrated, constrained, and can become easily triggered and downright angry.
This herbal formula is designed to smooth out the energetics of the Liver and encourage stuck qi (vital energy) to move- allowing us to move through our frustration and anger, and see a way forward. This herbal blend contains mood-balancing herbs like lemon balm and holy basil that nourish and support the nervous system to soothe agitation.
