Zhen Zhu An Shen Wan, meaning "Pearl Calming Pill," is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula designed to address sleep disturbances and mental unrest caused by Qi and Blood deficiency (气血双亏) .
The name comes from Zhen Zhu (pearl) , the key ingredient. In TCM, pearl has been used for centuries as a natural tranquillizer and sedative to calm the spirit (Shen) and protect the body's Yin . Historical texts, including the famous Compendium of Materia Medica, document pearl powder as a remedy for insomnia, palpitations, and stress-related disorders .
This formula is specifically indicated for a pattern called "Qi and Blood Deficiency" – a common condition in modern life caused by stress, poor diet, overwork, or chronic illness. When both Qi (vital energy) and Blood are deficient, the heart and mind lack nourishment, leading to restless sleep, palpitations, and mental fatigue .
You may benefit from Zhen Zhu An Shen Wan if you experience the following:
-
Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, with restless, dream-disturbed sleep
-
Waking up feeling tired, as if you did not rest
-
Palpitations or a sensation of your heart racing, especially when tired or stressed
-
Shortness of breath or feeling easily winded with minimal exertion
-
Mental fatigue, poor concentration, or feeling "foggy"
-
Lack of appetite or disinterest in food
-
General weakness and low energy levels (fatigue)
-
Pale complexion or pale tongue
-
Feeling run down after illness or during recovery
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this pattern is called "Qi and Blood Deficiency" (气血双亏). The heart houses the mind (Shen), and when the heart lacks sufficient Qi and Blood, the Shen becomes restless — manifesting as insomnia, palpitations, anxiety, and poor memory. This formula is traditionally used to replenish Qi, nourish Blood, and calm the Shen
Directions: 2 pills 2 times a day. Orally taken with warm water.
