Pearl Mother Pills: A Guide to Benefits and Safe Use
Pearl Mother Pills, known as Zhen Zhu Mu Wan in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), are a natural remedy designed to nourish the body and calm the mind. This herbal formula is often recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms such as restless sleep, dizziness, or occasional palpitations caused by insufficient energy (yin and blood deficiencies) and liver imbalance.
Ingredients and Dosage
Pearl Mother Pills contain a carefully balanced blend of herbs, including:
- Mother-of-pearl (Zhen Zhu Mu), Sour jujube seed (Suan Zao Ren), Arborvitae seed (Bai Zi Ren), and Dragon bone (Long Chi) – 12g each

- Rhinoceros horn (Xi Jiao), Cinnabar (Chen Sha), Honeysuckle (Jin Yin Hua), and Mint (Bo He) – 1g each
The herbs are processed into honey-coated pills about the size of a cherry pit. The recommended dosage is 40 to 50 pills taken with a decoction of honeysuckle and mint.
