A relatively balanced energy, this formula regulates liver metabolism and dredges and detoxifies the liver while supporting liver yin (blood). It is useful for hepatitis, chest pains, colitis due to liver irregularities, constipation, cirrhoses, gynecology, and general blood detoxification. Unlike many other cholagogues, it also helps tonify liver blood, making it especially good for deficient conditions with blood and yin deficiency.
Dosage: 2 tablets 3 times daily with warm water.
