My sleep quality has been poor recently. A friend suggested taking Anshen Bunaoye (a traditional Chinese medicine for calming the mind and nourishing the brain). Does Anshen Bunaoye work well?

The efficacy of Anshen Bunao Liquid varies from person to person. It may effectively alleviate symptoms such as physical fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, forgetfulness, and mental irritability caused by deficiency of qi and blood—when used appropriately. However, prolonged use of Anshen Bunao Liquid may lead to “excess heat” (a traditional Chinese medicine concept referring to inflammatory or hyperactive conditions) and may result in drug dependence; therefore, long-term use is not recommended.
