He Huan Hua
Also known as: Albizia julibrissin flower, albizia flower.
He Huan Hua stays in the library to preserve the TCM mood-support branch, but it remains an experimental-layer ingredient because the evidence is mostly traditional framing rather than modern hangover-specific intervention data.
Where this fits in the system
What it does
He Huan Hua is an optional calming herb for the version of recovery that feels emotionally rough around the edges: irritable, frayed, or unreasonably miserable.
How it works
Where it fits
This belongs to the mood branch of the protocol, especially when Nightcap or the morning-after phase feels mentally jagged rather than simply tired.

Buying guidance
A simple flower product from a reputable TCM source is enough. Use it only when the anxious-irritable pattern is real.

Why it is Tier 4
The herb is useful to keep because it names a real pattern users recognize. It remains clearly secondary because the evidence does not justify a stronger ranking.
