In recent years, insomnia, depression, and anxiety have become “invisible killers” seriously affecting the health of residents in our country, bringing a heavy economic burden to society and families. With the development of medical technology, traditional Chinese medicine has focused on major mental health issues such as insomnia, depression, and anxiety, exploring the mysteries behind them, and has achieved a series of research results and treatment methods. Traditional Chinese medicine, with its holistic concept and characteristic of syndrome differentiation and treatment, provides more treatment options and possibilities for insomnia and depression patients.
The theory of “calming the mind” divides “spirit” into “original spirit” and “perceptive spirit.” Through non-drug and drug interventions, it guides the inner self, releases stress, maintains a happy mood, and achieves the goal of physical and mental health. Non-drug methods of regulation include psychological adjustments, music therapy, meditation, tea and meditation practices, and seasonal adjustments according to the changes of Yin and Yang throughout the year. In terms of drug therapy, products developed under the guidance of the “calming the mind” theory from the Eight Characters of Health Preservation in Traditional Chinese Medicine have been proven to improve mood, calm the mind for sleep, and enhance brain function, contributing to the health of the nervous system.
The Yishen Yangxin Anshen Pill, developed by Ling Pharmaceutical, is an innovative traditional Chinese medicine that can systematically regulate and improve sleep, listed in the national medical insurance directory. Pharmacological studies have shown that the Yishen Yangxin Anshen Pill can systemically regulate and improve sleep by protecting the hippocampal neurons, inhibiting HPA activation, alleviating stress, exerting sedative and hypnotic effects, as well as enhancing memory and reducing fatigue.
For sleep disorders, the Jujube Hawthorn Calming Oral Liquid, developed by Ling Pharmaceutical, is an innovative traditional Chinese medicine for systematically regulating neurasthenia and insomnia, with the effects of nourishing the heart, tonifying the kidney, and calming the mind. It is suitable for insomnia, vivid dreams, and dizziness caused by mental tension, excessive stress, and neurasthenia. It helps people sleep well at night and stay energized during the day. A randomized controlled, multicenter clinical study on the Jujube Hawthorn Calming Oral Liquid showed significant prolongation of nighttime sleep, improved post-sleep mental state, and good effects on insomnia, forgetfulness, dizziness, fatigue, and weakness in the waist and knees.
Another innovative traditional Chinese medicine developed by Ling Pharmaceutical for treating mental disorders is the Jieyu Chufan Capsule, derived from the Modified Banxia Houpo Decoction, which is based on the traditional Banxia Houpo Decoction and Zhizi Houpo Decoction. According to ancient records, both Banxia Houpo Decoction and Zhizi Houpo Decoction are effective in treating anxiety and depression, which has been confirmed by clinical cases. Clinical studies have shown that the Jieyu Chufan Capsule can improve symptoms such as depression, emotional instability, insomnia, vivid dreams, as well as non-specific physical sensations like chest tightness, loss of appetite, dizziness, tinnitus, throat blockage, bitter taste in the mouth, and constipation. The Jieyu Chufan Capsule is classified as a Class 1.1 innovative traditional Chinese medicine and is listed in the national medical insurance directory.
As people’s demands for health increase, more and more people are paying attention to the health of the mental system. In this field, traditional Chinese medicine is gradually demonstrating its unique advantages in synergistic efficacy, symptom improvement, and enhancement of patient’s quality of life, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Ling Pharmaceutical’s series of drugs and health products developed under the guidance of the “calming the mind” theory contribute to the health of the mental system. (Wang Fan)
