Description
Palpitations are often described as an unpleasant awareness of the heartbeat or the feeling that the heart is pounding, racing or skipping beats. Normally the heart beats 60 – 100 times per minute. In people who exercise routinely or take medications that slow the heart, the rate may drop below 55 beats per minute. Palpitations are often accompanied by nervousness and anxiety. An Shen Bu Xin Wan is a very common Chinese herbal remedy used to manage insomnia1 (difficulty falling or staying asleep).†
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), An Shen Bu Xin Wan calms the Heart and spirit and restores normal sleep rhythm by nourishing Heart Yin and blood while anchoring hyperactive Liver Yang (caused by deficient Heart blood). When blood is insufficient and therefore fails to nourish the Shen (spirit) which is said to be housed in the heart, palpitations and insomnia are common symptoms. An Shen Bu Xin Wan may also be used for depression, dizziness, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).†
Palpitations may or may not represent a true cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart beat). An abnormal heart beat can be the sign of a serious and potentially life threatening condition. Consult your physician before taking this or any other supplement for palpitations.
An Shen Bu Xin Wan is composed of 10 medicinal Chinese herbs that nourish Yin and blood, calm the Shen (spirit), clear heat and anchor Yang.
Subdues yang, invigorates blood, settles te heart, secures the kidney, calms shen. Use for disturbed shen due to a weakened heart-kidney relationship causing rising yang with symptoms of insomnia, vivid or uncomfortable dreaming, palpitation, dizziness or restlessness with anxiety. There may also be cases which include chest pain or oppression. Can be used for manic episodes, nightmares, and hallucinations.
