About This Formula
Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes a kind of unease that is more physical than purely emotional: when phlegm and dampness cloud the middle and disturb the Gallbladder and Stomach, the result can be anxiety with a timid, jumpy quality, vivid dreams, dizziness, nausea, and a heavy, foggy head.
Wen Dan Tang gently transforms phlegm, restores the smooth downward flow of Stomach Qi, and settles the spirit, clearing the ‘fog’ that underlies this pattern. It is traditionally chosen when anxiety and poor sleep come with a damp, queasy, or muddled quality rather than dryness or heat alone. The most appropriate formula always depends on an individual’s TCM pattern, which the quick screening below helps confirm.
