Qualities
The bark or flower of this exotic tree is especially
famous among the Chinese for use when one is
experiencing emotional problems such as a broken heart
and the experience of great loss. The bark of the
Albizzia tree is an excellent Shen stabilizer. It is
calming and improves mood. It helps with anxiety,
insomnia, irritability, anger, forgetfulness, excessive
worry, etc. It is commonly used for any chronic
emotional upsets.
The flower of Albizzia is even better than the bark. It
has the same Shen stabilizing ability as the bark but
has much stronger Shen lifting (mood elevating) ability.
It is one of the best herbs to use for people who are
severely depressed, very angry, despondent or
overly-paranoid. I have used the flower very
successfully for numerous cases of broken heart and
despair. This is one of the ultimate Shen tonic herbs.
Primary
Combinations
Combine with:
1. Biota, Polygonum stem, Zizyphus and Amber to
stabilize Shen and to treat insomnia caused by anxiety
2. Ganoderma, Wild Red Asparagus Root and Wild Ginseng
to develop Shen
Varieties
and Grading
The quality of the bark available is quite stable.
Flowers should be highly aromatic and in good condition.
Whole flowers should predominate.
