Calm Spirit
Calm the Shen.
Not a product name. The traditional action of a classical Chinese formula.
In Chinese medicine, the Shen is the spirit — the seat of emotional balance and restful sleep. This formula has been described as calming it for a very long time. We just put the translation on the label.
Shen is not a mood. It is where the mind is said to live.
In Chinese medicine the Shen is usually translated as spirit, but the everyday meaning is closer to mind — awareness, thought, the part of you that is present in your own eyes.
A Shen that will not settle is the classical way of describing something you already recognize: a mind still running after the day is over, thoughts that circle instead of landing, sleep that starts and does not hold.
Calm Spirit · 90 capsules · No melatonin · Non-habit-forming
Nine herbs, one amino acid, and the gentle form of magnesium.

A small ritual, kept for the days that ask for one.
-
Up to three capsules, three times a day

-
Start with one dose, and see
If one dose is enough, stop there. Take another only when you need it again.
-
On the days you expect to need it
The overstimulated week, the stretch with no quiet in it. Not a permanent daily habit.
How long a bottle lasts. A 90-capsule bottle is roughly ten to fifteen days at the full dose, and considerably longer if one dose is all you need.
A translation is only as good as the translator.
The first company to manufacture Chinese herbal products in the United States for practitioners.
Calm Spirit is a dispensary formula.
Modern research, ancient wisdom.
I have used this on the advice of an acupuncturist and have found it to help relax me at night.
It takes nerves down a notch… doesn't have a sleepy effect.
Individual experiences shared in customer reviews; not a guarantee of results.
One thing worth knowing before you order.
Individuals with spleen qi deficiency should take Calm Spirit with caution, as loose stools or diarrhea may result. If that phrase means something to you, you already know whether it applies. If it does not, your acupuncturist or practitioner can tell you in about a minute.
And the ordinary one: if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, talk to your healthcare practitioner before starting this or any supplement.
Calm Spirit. Calm the Shen. Same sentence, four hundred years apart.
Nine herbs, taurine and gentle magnesium, in a formula practitioners have reached for since 1984. Ninety capsules, no melatonin, nothing to wean yourself off.
