The pan - fried seed of Zizyphus spinosa, related to the Jujube date, has reliable natural sedative properties. It's a staple in Chinese traditional herbalism and folk medicine. Shennong’s Classic (100 A.D.) says Zizyphus has balanced energy. Taking it over time can calm the five viscera, lighten the body, and prolong life.
A Ming Dynasty physician stressed that insufficient Yin, Jing, and blood can disrupt sleep. Zizyphus nourishes the heart and liver's Yin and blood, helping the Yang return to its “home”. Modern research shows Zizyphus seed contains jujubosides, responsible for its gentle sedative effect, similar to Reishi.
Zizyphus has low oral toxicity and is widely used in China at bedtime for normal, relaxed sleep. Ingredients: Roasted Zizyphus seed, Red Jujube Dates
