The ancient Dao so highly revered the Shen herbs. In fact, it was their life-long practice to nourish their Shen Essence with the support of Shen herbs.
By nourishing and stabilising the Shen, we are better able to rise with the Yang of the day, and decent with the Yin of the day. Therefore we see an easy flow of energy during the day and find it easier to rest at night. See this as being in harmony with Heaven and Earth. Grounded to the Earth is our Jing, and so this foundation is required, and Qi is animates us and ensures we can be vital, but Shen allows us to truly flow effortlessly and not have to push too hard to be effective in life. The Dao really had it right, didn't they!
Shen herbs we love are:
albizia flower, asparagus root, longan fruit, pearl, polygala Root, reishi, rehmannia root & spirit poria, citrus peel.
