ABOUT THE HERBS Restore Restraint (Sang Piao Xiao San) addresses a disharmony between the Kidney and the Heart. Its action is two-fold – to harmonize the Kidney and Heart, thereby calming the Spirit, and to restrain the leakage of fluids. Dragon bone, Poria with wood root, Polygala root and Altaica rhizome calm the Spirit and ease restlessness.
