🔥 CHINAHERB Purge Heat — Clear Liver Fire, Detoxify, and Support Skin & Reproductive Health
CHINAHERB Purge Heat (Long Dan Xie Gan Pian / 龙胆泻肝片) is a classical Chinese herbal formula first recorded in the Song Dynasty “Tai Ping Formulas of Welfare Dispensary”. It is specifically designed to clear Liver Fire, eliminate Damp-Heat from the Liver and Gallbladder, and restore internal balance.
This formula is ideal for conditions caused by Liver and Gallbladder Damp-Heat, such as inflammation, redness, swelling, and discomfort in both the internal organs and the skin.
🌿 Key Benefits
• Clears Liver Fire and Damp-Heat from Liver and Gallbladder.
• Reduces inflammation and irritation in the liver, gallbladder, eyes, and ears.
• Supports relief from skin conditions including shingles, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and herpes simplex.
• Helps regulate gynaecological health, supporting early or heavy menstruation and vaginal discharge or itching.
• May support immune and overall organ function in conditions such as HIV/AIDS.
🧘 Traditional Use in TCM
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Damp-Heat in the Liver and Gallbladder arises when excessive fats, poor diet, or Spleen dysfunction lead to Dampness, which insults the Liver according to Five Elements Theory. This results in symptoms such as:
-
Headaches, red eyes, tinnitus, and ear swelling
-
Pain or discomfort in the flank
-
Bitter taste in the mouth
-
Swollen or itchy perineum, excessive sweating in genital areas
-
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine, yellow vaginal discharge
Purge Heat works by clearing Heat, removing Dampness, and restoring Liver and Gallbladder balance, which in turn alleviates these internal and external symptoms.
🌱 Modern Applications
Purge Heat is commonly used for:
-
Skin conditions: shingles, eczema, dermatitis, itchy rashes, acne, herpes simplex

Gynaecological support: early or heavy menstruation, vaginal itching, and discharge
-
