The first is Xiaoyao Wan paired with Xiangsha Liujun Wan.

This combination enhances the effects of promoting Qi circulation and resolving dampness. If you often feel depressed, lack energy, experience distending pain in the ribs, burping, acid reflux, abdominal bloating, poor appetite, sticky stools, or have a thick tongue coating, you need to promote Qi and resolve dampness while soothing the liver and relieving depression. In such cases, you can refer to this pairing.

The second is Xiaoyao Wan paired with Wuzi Yanzong Wan.

This combination can soothe the liver and relieve depression while tonifying the kidneys and replenishing essence. If you exhibit signs of kidney essence deficiency alongside liver qi stagnation—such as frequent forgetfulness, hearing loss, tinnitus, a lack of interest in activities, easy fatigue, or weakness and soreness in the lower back and legs—you may consider this pairing.

The third is Xiaoyao Wan paired with Liuwei Dihuang Wan.

This is suitable for individuals with both liver qi stagnation and kidney yin deficiency. If you frequently experience low moods, irritability, restlessness, dry mouth and throat, night sweats, or soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, you may consider this combination.

The fourth is Xiaoyao Wan paired with Baohe Wan.

This combination can soothe the liver and relieve depression while promoting digestion and removing food stagnation.

The fifth is Xiaoyao Wan paired with Zuojin Wan

It can soothe the liver and relieve depression while simultaneously clearing liver fire and alleviating stomach pain. If you frequently experience stomach aches—especially those that worsen after getting angry or being in a bad mood—along with a bitter taste in your mouth, a burning sensation in your stomach, acid reflux, and a dislike for hot food, it is very likely that "liver fire is attacking the stomach." In such cases, we can combine liver-soothing treatments with Zuo Jin Wan to clear liver fire and stop the stomach pain.
