liuwei anshen

Liuwei Anshen is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) capsule formulation developed by the Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of chronic insomnia, specifically targeting the "yin deficiency and fire hyperactivity with phlegm" syndrome. The therapeutic mechanism of Liuwei Anshen is currently being investigated through the lens of the inflammation-mediated microbial gut-brain axis, suggesting that the formula may exert its sedative and sleep-promoting effects by modulating gut microbiota composition and systemic inflammatory pathways. As a multi-component herbal preparation, it represents a holistic approach to managing sleep disorders within the framework of integrative medicine.
