Emotional tension, mood swings, digestive upset from stress
Aspiration
Supports Relief From
Aspiration is designed to support emotional balance when you’re feeling stuck, irritable, or weighed down by frustration. It helps relieve tension in the chest and flanks, mood swings, digestive discomfort, and a general sense of emotional and physical constriction.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these patterns reflect constrained liver qi, stagnant blood, dampness, and phlegm entanglement — all of which can lead to depression, frustration, or digestive distress. Aspiration® clears these internal blockages, gently reviving emotional flow and reconnecting you to a deeper sense of vitality and clarity.
How It Works Holistically
This formula blends Chinese and Western herbs traditionally used to address both emotional and somatic symptoms of depression. Polygala (yuan zhi) and albizzia bark uplift the spirit and free constrained liver qi. Peony, cyperus, and uncaria help soothe irritability, flank discomfort, and restlessness. Dong quai and gardenia tonify and invigorate blood to nourish the heart and liver.
Aspiration® also includes vervain and damiana — two Western nervines known for their mood-lifting and calming effects — along with poria and ginger to address spleen dampness, phlegm, and digestive stagnation. Together, these botanicals support emotional resilience while helping you reconnect with a steady, uplifted inner state.
When Aspiration® Is Right for You
This formula is ideal when emotional tension shows up physically — as digestive discomfort, chest or rib-side tightness, trouble relaxing, or irritability that feels like it lives in your body. It's also a fit for those experiencing cyclical frustration, mild depression, or mood patterns connected to digestion.
Because it mildly warms and activates, those with heat signs or yin deficiency may want to combine it with a cooling support like Calm Spirit™. Avoid during pregnancy.
