TCM formula (emotional)
Gan Mai Da Zao Tang
Gan Mai Da Zao Tang, the Wheat-Licorice-Jujube decoction, is one of the few classical formulas indicated for emotional instability and weeping in women and children. It is sweet and nourishing. Often used for kids who cry easily, can't articulate feelings, and feel everything ten times.

Safety notes
