In the West it has become an extremely popular herb for it's adaptogenic and nerve soothing properties. For the practitioner of TCM, it's actions could be considered to Tonify the Yin, Yang, and Qi of the Kidney, Nourish Heart Blood and Calm the Spirit, Tonify Heart Qi, and Dispel Wind and Damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is an incredible herb to use as a single or added to formulas especially when there is chronic deficiency that is coupled with feelings of anxiousness and\/or difficulty sleeping. A way to understand this action could be to compare it to the formula Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan (Celestial Emperor's Blend). Ashwagandha is less sticky\/cloying, more tonifying to the kidney Qi and Yang, and less sedating. Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan is more tonifying to the Blood and Yin aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare it with Ren Shen (Chinese Red Ginseng). Both are powerful, broadly acting, warming tonics that support long term vitality. Ren Shen can be more stimulating and has more Spleen tonifying properties. Ashwagandha has stronger Calm Spirit actions, is more settling and has the ability to Dispel Wind and Damp.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of Ashwagandha's actions are also comparable to an herb like Ba Ji Tian (Morinda root). Both herbs are Warming, and Tonifying of the Kidney Yang, yet have moistening and blood tonifying actions.  Both have some dispersing nature and are used for chronic painful obstruction with Kidney deficiency. Unlike Bai Ji Tian, Ashwagandha has influence on the Heart and Calms the Spirit. Ashwagandha is also  perhaps more Tonifying and less Dispersing of Wind Damp Cold than Ba Ji Tian.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kan Herb Company","offers":[{"title":"1 oz \/ Extract","offer_id":60854900294002,"sku":"KAS1","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/files\/77e7abff-291d-4e7a-bb98-1a9ddc40edac.jpg?v=1761859515"},{"product_id":"light-and-bright","title":"1 oz. Light and Bright","description":"\u003cp\u003eLight and Bright and is a new formula designed in house at Kan with a combination of Chinese and Western herbs. It is a formula designed to decompress and strengthen, for the high stress, high paced life that many of us live. Just over half the formula is directed at regulating Liver Qi, helping to brighten yet relax, helping to move through feelings of stress, overwhelm and\/or melancholy. Just under half the formula is tonifying and uses the premier tonic, Chinese Red Ginseng (Ren Shen) to empower, strengthen and impart resiliency.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLemongrass and Lemon Verbena leaf are bright, aromatic herbs that impart a feeling of well being by aromatically opening the Qi mechanisms. Lemon Verbena leaf has a long history of use in South America as a relaxing tea that also has influence on the digestive system. When smelling and drinking Lemon Verbena leaf it imparts a sense of openness and brightness that all is well in the world. Lemongrass is native to Southeast Asia and is grown and used throughout the world especially in the tropics and subtropics. It has a wide range of traditional uses ranging from difficult menstruation, indigestion, fever, digestive spasm, m\u003cspan\u003eusculoskeletal \u003c\/span\u003epain, feelings of anxiousness, difficulty sleeping and fever. In TCM language we could say that Lemongrass and Lemon Verbena leaf Regulate Liver Qi, Relieve Constraint, mildly Calm Spirit, and help Regulate the Liver's influence on the Spleen and Stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbizia bark (He Huan Pi) is translated as \"Collective Happiness Bark\".  As such, it releases constraint of the Liver, Calms Spirit, and Soothes the Heart. Albizia also helps to open the chest when a stifling sensation is caused by stress\/stagnation. Albizia helps to lighten the load when stress feels like it is constraining and weighing one down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinese Red Ginseng is the premier tonic in TCM which tonifies the Qi of all organs including the Heart, Kidney, Spleen, Stomach and Lung. Red Ginseng imparts strength, fortitude and the ability to endure difficulties. In the face of continued stress Red Ginseng supports the mind, body and energy by both powerfully tonifying while also Calming the Spirit and Benefiting the Heart Qi. Red Ginseng acts both rapidly and long term. It can help support a swift feeling of energization, while deeply working to restore and strengthen in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinese Licorice root (Gan Cao) is the great harmonizer, moderating the mild drying nature of Lemongrass and Lemon Verbena leaf.  It's sweetness helps to soften the Liver and Tonify the Spleen. Chinese Licorice root helps smooths the edges, Strengthen the Qi and supports resiliency to stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight and Bright can be used both as needed and as a steady constitutional formula.   Some situations where it can be helpful on an as needed basis are; during the latter part of a work day when one is feeling overwhelmed or tired, at the end of a work day to support the re-opening of the qi and a boost of energy, whenever another cup of coffee or tea is desired to stimulate the energy, before athletic events or competitions where more relaxed and abundant Qi can be helpful. Constitutionally, it is useful for those whose life is stressful, and that stress is affecting the peaceful resourcefulness of the individual.   The stress may be causing constraint of the chest, indigestion and\/or fatigue. This formula brightens one's affect while providing deep resource to maintain and transform oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe closest related formula is perhaps Xiao Yao San (Free and Easy Wanderer\/Relaxed Wanderer). Both Light and Bright and Xiao Yao San regulate Qi and support the strength and smooth function of the Spleen and Stomach. Xiao Yao San has a stronger action on the Blood and the menses. Light and Bright has a stronger action on Qi Regulation and Tonification, and on the Heart, helping to Calm Spirit and Tonify Heart Qi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kan Herb Company","offers":[{"title":"1 oz \/ Extract","offer_id":60854900359538,"sku":"KLB1","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/files\/c3a321d2-90ca-4185-9ed1-8ca809cc1938.jpg?v=1761860212"},{"product_id":"jade-windscreen-plus","title":"1 oz. Jade Windscreen Plus","description":"\u003cp\u003eTonifies Spleen Qi, Contraindicated during a Wind Cold or Wind Heat invasion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJade Windscreen Plus is an adaptation of the renowned formula Yu Ping Feng San with the addition of Lion's Mane and Reishi mushrooms.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJade Windscreen is a formula traditionally used before and during seasons where the defensive Qi (Wei Qi) is most challenged. Whether defending from seasonal pathogens or pollens, Jade Windscreen helps strengthen and prepare the Wei Qi for it's duties. This formula also helps astringe the exterior helping with inappropriate\/excessive sweating due to Qi deficiency. Jade Windscreen Plus can also be used as a long term tonic when weakness of the Lung and Spleen are the primary patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary ingredient is Astragalus root (Huang Qi), which along with White Atractylodes rhizome (Bai Zhu) tonifies the Lung Qi and Spleen Qi. Astragalus and Atractylodes work together to support the generation and potency of Wei Qi, while also helping to consolidate the exterior. Consolidating the exterior helps to prevent the invasion of pathogens as well as restraining the leaking of sweat from the pores. Siler root (Fang Feng) helps bring the formula to the surface, while also acting to expel exterior pathogens. Siler does this in a gentle way that does not lead to a depletion of Qi or drying out of fluids. Reishi (Ling Zhi) and Lion's Mane (Hou Tou Gu) mushrooms were added to enhance the immune effects of the formula. Both Reishi and Lion's Mane could be considered to be premier Wei Qi tonics, powerfully supporting the Qi's ability to defend from pathogens. Reishi has a long history of use and is also well studied in modern times. In addition to it's Wei Qi effects, Reishi Calms the Mind, Tonifies the Lung Qi, Tonifies the Heart Qi and Nourishes the Heart Blood. Lion's Mane, another well studied and traditionally consumed mushroom, Tonifies Qi, Benefits Intelligence, Calms the Mind, and Nourishes Stomach Yin. The addition of these two mushrooms broadens the effects of the formula (especially on the Heart\/Mind) without distracting from the main (Wei Qi\/immune) purpose of the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne can think of Jade Windscreen Plus as a formula that fuels and projects a competent forcefield to keep out attackers, tightens the gaps on the surface to prevent invasion and prevent leakage, while supporting a sense of calm and resourcefulness.      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kan Herb Company","offers":[{"title":"1 oz \/ Extract","offer_id":60843950965106,"sku":"KJWP1","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz \/ Extract","offer_id":60846755152242,"sku":"KJWP8","price":142.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/files\/4d6569ab-dc82-42bb-af5a-719e4f26c6df.jpg?v=1761860752"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/collections\/Kan_Herb_-_Wisdom_Full_Text.jpg?v=1775218696","url":"https:\/\/kanherb.myshopify.com\/collections\/kan-for-consumers.oembed","provider":"Kan Herb Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
