Chinese Mood Elevator is a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula that is used to relieve sagging energy (chi). It is helpful for sadness, depression, fatigue, insomnia and anxiety. Unlike Western approaches to depression which focus on the neurotransmitter serotonin, Mood Elevator works by balancing the liver, digestive, intestinal and nervous functions.

The formula supports the liver, expels mucus and toxins from the liver and digestive tract, relaxes muscle spasms, simulates circulation and energy, and eases indigestion. In TCM terms, it relieves sagging chi (or energy) and disperses stagnant chi. It also expels wind (constriction and spasm) and dampness (excess fluid). So, it is useful not only for depression, but for congestion and sluggishness of the liver, abdominal bloating and pain, lymphatic congestion, anxiety and nervous tension and muscle spasms.

For depression and nervous problems, recommended dose is 4 capsules twice daily. For digestive upset, liver problems, etc., use 2-3 capsules three times daily. When using the concentrate, 1 capsule of the concentrate replaces 4 capsules of the regular formula.

Many people have been able to get off antidepressant drugs with this formula, taking the formula along with their medication, until they begin to feel better. Then they gradually reduce the dose of their medication. Never discontinue antidepressant medication abruptly. This process should be done under professional supervision.
