Common questions

What is Chinaherb Merry Life Formula used for?+

Merry Life Formula (Xiao Yao Wan) is a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine formula that nourishes the Liver and smooths Liver Qi. It is traditionally used for low mood, irritability, mood swings and stress, and for menstrual complaints such as irregular or late periods, period pain, PMS and sore breasts — especially where symptoms become worse with stress or emotional upset.

Where does the Merry Life Formula come from?+

It comes from the 'Tai Ping Formulas of welfare dispensary', published by the emperor's health store of the Song Dynasty in 1106 AD. The name reflects the idea that when Liver Qi is lively and smooth, the mood becomes cheerful and troubles are left behind.

Is Merry Life Formula helpful for PMS?+

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Liver Stagnation and Blood Deficiency are seen as central to many gynaecological complaints, and Merry Life Formula is a common prescription for premenstrual tension, PMS, and irregular or late menstruation. Our consultants can help you decide whether it suits your picture — in-store or on WhatsApp.

How do I know if my pattern matches this formula in TCM terms?+

Merry Life Formula suits what TCM calls Liver Qi Stagnation — irritability, low mood, lack of social interest, breast distension and poor appetite, typically worse under stress. Speak to your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing or on medication.
