Wen Dan Pian (Wen Dan Tang Wan, Rising Courage Teapills,
温胆片), literally
"Warm the Gallbladder Decoction" in Chinese,
is a famous ancient Chinese herbal medicine that is used for anxiety disorders or
insomnia due to phlegm heat.
|
What does it do?
Wen Dan Tang is specially formulated for disharmony between gallbladder and stomach and the resulting phlegm heat.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the harmony between the
gallbladder and stomach ensures the Qi energy flows smoothly and their proper function. If disharmony between the
gallbladder and stomach occurs, Qi is blocked in flow and may be transformed into "phlegm" (Please notice the concept of
"phlegm" in TCM is not identical to and broader than phlegm used in our common term) and generates heat. As Gallbladder
is the source of courage in TCM, the phlegm heat may cause fright and fear, restlessness, dreaminess and anxiety.
The flow of the rebellious Qi in stomach may cause nausea and vomiting.
Wen Dan Tang regulates Qi to resolve phlegm and clears the
gallbladder and harmonizes the stomach terms.† The Chinese medicine is used
for disharmony between the gall bladder and stomach and
internal disturbance of phlegm-heat marked by difficulty
in sleeping due to asthenia-dysphoria or vomiting and
hiccup as well as palpitation due to fright and epilepsy.†.
In a recent study, Wen Dan Tang was used to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and
its effect was compared with the treatment by fluoxetine for six weeks. It turned out that
out of 34 patients treated with Wen Dan Tang 12 were cured, 15 showed marked improvement.
The effectiveness is comparable to the fluoxetine group. Strikingly, the patients in the
Wen Dan Tang treatment developed hardly any adverse reaction whereas a significant number
of patients in the fluoxetine group showed a variety of side reactions. 1 †
