How does the method of rejoicing and nourishing the heart in traditional Chinese medicine treat depression?

For patients with severe depression, we can try the following methods: Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Schisandra chinensis 15g, Albizia Albizziae bark 15g, Ganoderma lucidum 30g (fried first), Ziziphus Spinosae Seed 15g, Poria cocos 15g, Angelica sinensis 15g, and Radix Rehmanniae 65438. Taking acanthopanax senticosus for a period of time can treat insomnia, lower blood pressure and enhance the body's defense ability. It is worth noting that Acanthopanax senticosus, formerly known as Acanthopanax senticosus, is divided into three different medicinal materials: Acanthopanax senticosus, Acanthopanax senticosus and Cortex Periplocae, which are easily confused. Among them, Xiang Jia has the effects of expelling wind and removing dampness, nourishing liver and kidney, and strengthening bones and muscles, but it is toxic and easy to cause heart and kidney damage. In addition, those with yin deficiency and excessive fire are prohibited. Symptoms of rising liver fire include palpitation, irritability, insomnia, dreaminess and rapid pulse. Such patients can choose foods with the functions of clearing away liver-fire, nourishing heart and calming nerves, such as spinach, rape, shepherd's purse, wax gourd, bitter gourd, bamboo shoots, fresh lotus root, celery, leek, day lily, wheat, mulberry, pear, peach, sunflower seed, mung bean, longan, egg, mutton, duck meat and black-bone chicken.
