When emotional disturbances affect the menstrual cycle, Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills can help regulate qi and blood, thereby improving, to some extent, menstrual irregularities.

For irritability, easy aggravation of internal heat, and poor appetite, ingredients in Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills such as Bupleurum and mint can soothe the liver and clear heat, helping to stabilize emotions and relieve irritability, while Atractylodes and Poria can strengthen the spleen and stomach, improving appetite.

Regarding stress-related acne, Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills can regulate the endocrine system, improving skin problems caused by liver qi stagnation transforming into fire and spleen deficiency with blood insufficiency. They can also regulate emotions and reduce stress.

In addition, Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills have certain auxiliary therapeutic effects on perimenopausal syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and mild depressive states. However, it should be noted that because individual constitutions and conditions vary, medication should be taken under the guidance of a physician. Self-medication without medical advice should be avoided to prevent adverse reactions.
