Xiao Yao Wan
Min Shan
Overview
Min Shan Xiao Yao Wan is a well-established Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula historically used to address liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency. While its efficacy is strongly supported by centuries of traditional use and anecdotal evidence, specific modern, Western-style clinical trial data on this exact proprietary blend are limited. Research on individual herbal components suggests potential benefits for mood regulation, anti-inflammation, and digestive support.
