Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs now offers a 10:1 Albizzia Julibrissin Flower Extract which is excellent for relieving anxiety and stress. Known in China as "He Huan Hua," it is the traditionally prescribed remedy for grief, worry and sadness. The Albizzia Certificate of Analysis (COA) for this particular batch is shown above. Albizzia Julibrissin (or Mimosa Tree) is oftentimes called the "Happiness Herb" by the Chinese. Its use was first documented in the Shen Nong Ben Cao (Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica) during the 2nd century for its mood supportive and calming properties, as well as for its tonic properties. Chinese herbalists traditionally recommend its use for anyone who is suffering from grief as a result of a severe loss. An extract of Albizia Flowers is said to "lighten" the spirit. The flowers have also been used for the treatment of insomnia, amnesia and sore throat in Asian traditional medicine, as well as for melancholy and anxiety. Many herbalists consider Albizzia Flower to have a much more profound effect than St. John's Wort (Hypericum Perforatum). With hundreds of years of traditional use, Albizzia has proven to be a useful anti-anxiety herb with no known side effects. It is the ultimate calming herbal extract. ***These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled on slow speed equipment and only pure, unadulterated herbal extract is contained in the capsules. There are no magnesium stearates, fillers, gelatin, silicates, gluten, corn, wheat, rice, yeast, starch, titanium dioxide, artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives.
