Herbal Spotlight: Xiao Yao Wan (Free & Easy Wanderer)

ByJersey July 11, 2023July 11, 2023

Xiao Yao Wan or Free and Easy Wanderer is one of the most famous herbal formulas available to help regulate your Liver, Gallbladder and Spleen Organ Systems, bringing about a balanced feeling of emotional and physical harmony. We prescribe this formula to many people and have seen widespread improvements to their individual issues.

The Liver and Spleen Organ Systems can be associated with a plethora of disharmonies such as: emotional outburst or anxiety, cold hands/feet, PMS, migraines, weak digestion/bloating, menstrual irregularities, stomach/back/rib pain, loss of appetite, low energy, eye problems, irregular elimination, decreased flexibility, headaches and neck and back tension just to list a few.

Xiao Yao Wan or Free and Easy Wanderer is an excellent formula to be taken for a week or two each month prior to a menstrual cycle with any irregularities as mentioned above. In many circumstances it would be a good idea to follow up with a post-menstrual tonic. Ask me which formulas are appropriate for you!
