Shen Shu Storehouse contains equal parts of Polygala Root and Schisandra Berries. Together, Shen Shu Storehouse aims to deeply fortify the body. It restores, strengthens, and tones. Shen Shu Storehouse is formulated without any Yang herbs. It is intentionally devoid of any herbs that may be artificially stimulating or warming. Instead, it is formulated to awake and refine what is already present within. This is a formula to help restore by relaxing an overworked, overstimulated, and anxious mind. It clears muddled thoughts and allows the path forward to be revealed. It is non-sedating as well, explaining its energizing without stimulating properties.
This is an ideal formula for those looking for an adaptogen to help decrease nervine stress, without sedative properties. It truly clears the mind, allows the body to relax and focus.
