Called "He Huan Pi" (collective happiness bark) in TCM, Albizia is the classical herb for grief, heartbreak, and emotional pain. Used for over 2,000 years to calm the spirit (Shen), ease anxiety, and improve sleep disturbed by emotional suffering. The bark and flowers are both used, with the bark being more sedating and the flowers lighter and uplifting.
