Semde
HAPPINESS OF THE MIND
The Semde formula mainly consists of prana-rectifying and stomach-harmonizing medicinal ingredients. These are then combined with ingredients which warm and supplement the spleen and kidneys as well as nourish the blood.
Semde is indicated for the treatment of anxiety, stress, irritability, lack of concentration, mental dullness, and various other mental disorders. Its Tibetan name translates as: “mental happiness”. In Tibetan medicine, this formula is indicated for the treatment of all sorts of loong disorders. The Tibetan concept of loong or wind is the motivating force within the body which promotes movement, metabolism, transformation, and change. Loong diseases are due to counterflow of one or more of the five types of wind. In particular, Sem-de is indicated for the treatment of a condition called srog- lung in Tibetan. The srog-rtsa is the central channel in the body its name means the “life channel” or “life vessel,” (srog = life; rtsa = channel or vessel). This channel is closely connecting with the heart and one’s mental-emotional function as well as one’s most basic vitality. If, due to stress, the wind within this vessel, the srog- loong or life-wind, becomes depressed and accumulates pathologically, it may counter-flow upward along the srog-rtsa thus harassing the heart above. This is experienced subjectively as mental-emotional restlessness, anxiety, easy fright, lack of concentration, insomnia, and heart palpitations.
