PAX: Gan Mai Da Zao Tang
PAX: Emotional Resilience & Spirit Support
PAX is our professional-grade interpretation of Gan Mai Da Zao Tang (Licorice, Wheat, and Jujube Decoction), a formula revered for nearly two millennia for its ability to stabilize the spirit during times of emotional agitation. Whether managing the high-frequency stress of a modern career or seeking a deeper, more grounded sleep, PAX provides the essential nourishment the nervous system needs to remain centered.
The Formula Strategy
At Griffo Botanicals, we believe in the power of simplicity backed by potency. PAX works by nourishing Heart Yin and Spleen Qi, effectively "anchoring" the Shen (spirit). While the classic trio provides the foundation, our expanded formula includes specific botanicals to enhance the stabilization of the Liver and Heart networks.
Full Spectrum Ingredients
Our PAX tincture utilizes a proprietary, full-spectrum extraction process to ensure every drop is both potent and palatable:
- Xiao Mai (Light Wheat): The monarch herb. It enters the Heart channel to cool restlessness, stop spontaneous sweating, and anchor floating spirit-energy.
- He Huan Pi (Albizia Bark): Known as the "Bark of Collective Happiness," it is clinically prized for its ability to soothe Liver Qi constraint and alleviate feelings of "the blues" or irritability.
- Hong Zao (Jujube Fruit): A nutrient-dense botanical that tonifies the Spleen and nourishes the Blood, providing the physical "substance" required to house a calm mind.
- Ye Jiao Teng (Shou Wu Vine): Specifically added to improve the formula's efficacy for sleep, this herb nourishes the Heart and calms the spirit by unblocking the collateral channels.
- Gan Cao (Licorice Root): Harmonizes the entire formula while tonifying the Middle Jiao (digestive center) and moistening the Heart.
The Griffo Quality Standard
Unlike mass-produced granules, tea pills or diluted tinctures, our PAX extract is a "Full Spectrum" medicine. We preserve the delicate aromatic oils and polysaccharides that define these herbs. The result is a naturally sweet, fast-acting formula that offers immediate emotional support without the "fog" associated with modern sedatives.
