Compound Zizyphus Seed Capsules are primarily used to improve insomnia and neurasthenia, and may have certain auxiliary effects on anxiety symptoms, but they are not specifically indicated for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Its main ingredients include traditional Chinese herbs such as Zizyphus seeds, which have functions of nourishing the heart, calming the mind, and sedation-hypnosis. It is suitable for mild anxiety and sleep disturbances caused by mental unrest or emotional fluctuations. If anxiety symptoms are severe or accompanied by other psychological issues, professional treatment methods, such as psychological counseling, should be combined to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.

To alleviate anxiety symptoms, it is recommended to use Compound Zizyphus Seed Capsules rationally under a doctor's guidance, along with other regulatory approaches. Maintaining a regular sleep-wake schedule and avoiding staying up late or excessive fatigue can help stabilize mood. Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can reduce psychological stress. Diet-wise, foods rich in B-complex vitamins, such as whole grains and nuts, can be beneficial in restoring normal nervous system function. If anxiety persists or worsens and affects daily life, timely medical consultation should be sought to obtain a more comprehensive treatment plan.
