Chinese Medicine has a unique way of treating mental illness. We think of mental illness as Yin and Yang that is out of balance. In other words, Qi (energy) flow is disturbed. The Chinese tend to view most emotional disorders as stagnation of the Liver Qi. This can cloud the mind and cause moodiness, depression, pre-menstrual tension, irritability. In America, anxiety and depression have become social epidemics due to the competitive, high stress nature of our way of life. If the Yang element is out of control, it must be counteracted with herbal formulas that work to cool not only the liver, but the heart and kidneys as well. Such as the health care formula.
