According to Steven Horne Mood Elevator is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula that is used to relieve sagging energy (chi). It is helpful for sadness, depression, fatigue, insomnia and anxiety. Unlike modern Western approaches to depression which focus on the neurotransmitter serotonin, Mood Elevator works in a holistic manner to relieve depression and sadness by balancing liver, digestive, intestinal and nervous functions. The formula supports the liver, expels mucus and toxins from the liver and digestive tract, relaxes muscle spasms, stimulates circulation and energy and eases indigestion. In TCM terms, it relieves sagging chi (or energy) and disperses stagnant chi. It also expels wind (constriction and spasm) and dampness (excess fluid). So, it is useful not only for depression, but for congestion and sluggishness of the liver, abdominal bloating and pain, lymphatic congestion, anxiety and nervous tension and muscle spasms. Suggested Use for the TCM formula For depression and nervous problems, the recommended dose is 1 capsule twice daily. For digestive upset, liver problems, etc. use 1 capsule daily. Many people have been able to get off antidepressant drugs with this formula, taking the formula along with their medication, until they begin to feel better. They then gradually reduce the dose of their medication. Never discontinue antidepressant medications abruptly. Ideally, this process should be done under professional supervision.
