Notes: When your body is accustomed to being lulled to sleep by the presence of alcohol, giving that up can give rise to insomnia.

Temperance INS regulates all of those neurotransmitters and sleep mechanisms needed for safe, natural, and 100% drug-free restful sleep.

Alcohol is thought to have a warm nature in Chinese medicine. A little bit like we think of chili peppers as hot. Alcohol doesn’t freeze very easily either. That too is due to it’s “hot” nature, at least according to Chinese medical theory.

Herbs in this formula cool the internal heat that causes insomnia and restlessness. They also calm the spirit and support an internal environment conducive to sleep… sleeep… sleeeeep….

Ingredients

Ye Jiao Teng 夜交藤 corydalis rhizome Caulis Polygoni Multiflori

Fu Shen 茯神 spirit poria Poriae Sclerotium pararadicis

• Ye Jiao Teng is a vine that nourishes blood. This particular component of blood isn’t really red blood cells so much as the neurotransmitters that circulate within. Fu Shen is very good at calming as well as helping detoxify the body by stimulating urinary output.

Suan Zao Ren 酸棗仁 sour jujube seed; zizyphus Semen Zizyphi Spinosae [use caution if pregnant]

Bai Zi Ren 柏子仁 arbor-vitae seed; biota seed Semen Biotae Orientalis

• These two herbs are kind of oily, rich, juicy. They’re absolutely dripping in calming goodness that doesn’t make you groggy at all, but rather induces calm to let your body’s need for rest take over naturally.

Zhu Ru 竹茹 bamboo shavings Caulis Bambusae in Taeniis [supports pregnancy]

Zhi Zi 梔子 cape jasmine fruit, gardenia Gardeniae Fructus

Huang Lian 黃蓮 coptis rhizome Rhizoma Coptidis

• These bamboo shavings “clear heat” from the “Heart”. Gardenia fruit removes heat from the “Liver” and “Heart”, and the Coptis removes heat from the Stomach, Large Intestine and the Heart. Let’s face it, you don’t want heat inside of you when you’re trying to relax. No matter where the heat comes from, it ends up rising to the Heart where internal heat causes restlessness and irritability. Obviously this is Chinese medical theory again.

Ban Xia 半夏 pinellia rhizome, pinellia tuber Rhizoma Pinelliae Ternatae [supports pregnancy]

Chen Pi 陳皮 aged tangerine peel, citrus Citri reticulatae Pericarpium

• These two herbs “dry damp” which is a secondary complication of drinking alcohol. It is easy to recognize that alcohol is warm in nature, but it also causes facial bloating or edema. We call that “dampness”. These two herbs help regulate the fluid metabolism for the dampness.

Yuan Zhi 遠志 Chinese senega root; polygala Radix Polygalae Tenuifoliae

• Calming on a somewhat different level than the majority of the herbs above that address the Heart. It works to clear the mind.

Gan Cao 甘草 licorice root Radix Glycyrrhizae [caution]

• This herb helps all the others work together better. Think of it as a warm sweet mother who’s very presence will call down the harsh properties of a group of loud aggressive young men. That’s exactly what it’s doing here. Harmonizing the personalities of all the herbs in this formula to prevent side-effects.

• DOSAGE:
  Eagle Herbs is now supplying a 2 gram “little spoon”. (Please wash and dry before using.)
  An “average dose” is 10 grams per day of the granules. This means 5 “little spoons” or 20 capsules each day. Each capsule is 1/2 gram. 
  A Big Dosage for Short-lived but intense issues: 3 little spoons (12 capsules) twice a day.
  A Smaller Dosage for Lingering low-grade concerns: 2 little spoons (8 capsules) twice a day. 
  If you are very sensitive to medicines: start out low (1/2 little spoon or 2 capsules) once per day, and raise the dosage each day.
  We find that people find the right dosage for themselves. We don’t know your body weight, your sensitivity etc… So take what feels good for you and you get the results you are looking for. Many people get great results with taking less. 

Your order will last approximately this long:

• 50 grams powder (capsules only): 4 to 14 days.
• 100 grams powder (capsules or powder): 8 to 25 days
• 200 grams powder (powder only): 19 to 56 days
