Longdan Xiegan Pills are highly effective in clearing liver fire and damp-heat, but some people find them ineffective or even experience diarrhea after taking them. In fact, this is often due to incorrect usage, and it's a shame to take them directly without proper guidance. Today, I'll teach you two combinations to double their effectiveness

Before sharing, let's first understand this prescription.

In the formula, Gentian, Scutellaria, and Gardenia are specifically responsible for extinguishing fire, serving as excellent agents for clearing heat, purging fire, removing dampness, and cooling blood.

Akebia, Alisma, and Plantago are specifically responsible for draining water, capable of gradually expelling damp-heat from the body

Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica sinensis, Bupleurum chinense, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, these four herbs soothe the liver, nourish the blood, nourish yin, and harmonize the body. They are like little assistants that refuel and energize the body, making the efforts of the previous two teams twice as effective.

The entire prescription can be summarized in 6 words:Clearing liver and gallbladder, promoting diuresis to remove dampness。

So if you have issues like damp-heat or excessive internal heat in other organs, it is not recommended to use it.

Next, let's talk about how to pair them to double the effect!

The first combination: Longdan Xiegan Wan + Xiaoyao Wan

Enhance the effect of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen.

Many people find Longdan Xiegan Wan ineffective because their physical foundation is too weak, their spleen and stomach are not functioning well, and their liver qi is stagnant, which prevents the medicinal properties of Longdan Xiegan Wan from being effectively utilized.

If you often experience emotional and spleen-stomach issues, and upon examining your tongue, you notice cracks in the center and swelling on both sides, then you can try this combination.

The second combination: Longdan Xiegan Wan + Baohe Wan

Dampness and heat are most likely to accumulate in the intestines, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort, acid reflux, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, or loose stools.

At this time, simply clearing dampness and heat is not sufficient; by promoting the function of the large intestine, the digestive capacity of the stomach and intestines can be enhanced, allowing the medication to work more effectively.

Of course, specific medication should be used under the guidance of a professional physician, and one should not blindly follow trends and misuse them.
