Herbs that calm the spirit will act either on the Liver or the Heart. The heart houses the spirit or shen while the liver contains the soul or hun. If either of these organs are disturbed problems such as insomnia, palpitations, irritability, anxiety and possibly insanity may occour. There are two types of herbs in this category. Primarily are the herbs that anchor, calm and settle the spirit and secondarily the herbs which calm the spirit by nourishing the heart.
