What herbal formula is indicated for Liv Damp-Heat?

Long Dan Xie Gan Tang is a classical herbal formula specifically formulated to clear Liver Damp-Heat. This condition often manifests as symptoms such as a bitter taste in the mouth, irritability, red eyes, and a sensation of fullness or distention in the hypochondrial area. The formula incorporates various herbs that have properties to clear heat, drain dampness, and soothe the Liver.

The primary herbs in Long Dan Xie Gan Tang include Gentiana (Long Dan Cao), which clears heat and dries dampness, and other supportive herbs that enhance its effectiveness in addressing conditions associated with Liver Qi stagnation due to damp-heat accumulation. This combination makes the formula particularly well-suited for addressing the causes and symptoms associated with Liver Damp-Heat.

The other formulas listed do address various patterns of disharmony in Traditional Chinese Medicine but are not specifically tailored to treat Liver Damp-Heat as effectively as Long Dan Xie Gan Tang. For example, Nuan Gan Jian focuses on warming the Liver and nourishing the Kidney, while Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin is primarily used for headaches and hypertension, and Wen Dan Tang is aimed at clearing Phlegm-Heat.
