What does it do?

Helps 'cool your engine' and keep your emotions in check

Do you easily get angry? If someone cuts you off in traffic, do you pound on your horn and shout at the other driver - even if the driver can't hear you? Perhaps you even get angry from time to time for seemingly no reason. You're not sure why you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, but there's a palpable tension in the air. Though you might not be able to explain it, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may offer some theories to determine the root cause of how you're feeling….

From a TCM perspective, frequent fits of anger and irritability are caused by excessive fire in the Liver. In TCM theory, the Liver is the seat of all emotions. Resentment, jealousy and other emotional states that don't serve your best interests are rooted in the Liver. The Liver also plays a critical role in regulating the flow of Qi (the universal life force). If you have excess heat in the Liver, your Qi flow will suffer and stagnate, producing a cascade of negative emotions.

If you eat greasy or fried foods frequently, this may also be a root cause of excess Liver fire. Excess fire in the Liver can manifest as a variety of unpleasant symptoms including: head discomfort; red eyes; bitter taste in the mouth; irritability and short temper; hypochondriac discomfort; reddish tongue with yellowish greasy fur; wiry, rapid, and forceful pulse;

Classic formula for clearing Fire from the Liver and Gallbladder

The good news is there's a simple solution for clearing excess heat from the Liver. It's our all-natural TCM liver formula called Liver FireClear™, aka Long Dan Xie Gan Tang. This is a classic herbal remedy that can, in western parlance, "cool your engine."

Using a western analogy, think of the Liver as the engine in your car. If the oil in your car is clean and at optimal level, your engine will run smooth. But if you pour the wrong type of fuel in your engine, the gas (the "qi" that makes the car drive) will burn up too quickly and the engine oil (the "blood" that lubricates the engine) will overheat.

Liver FireClear™, when taken over time (allow a few weeks to notice positive outcomes), may help to cool your engine.

And if you're concerned about the possibility of liver damage from aristolochic acid, which is a byproduct of the herb, Guan Mu Tong, in the original Long Dan Xie Gan Tang recipe, there's no need to worry. Our formulation does not include this herb.

Classic formula for draining Damp Heat from the Liver channel

Another TCM pattern Liver FireClear™ takes care of is the damp-heat from the Liver channel in the lower burner, or the lower part of the body. This damp-heat pattern is typically shown with reddish tongue with yellowish greasy fur; wiry, rapid, and forceful pulse;

How does Liver FireClear™ Work?

The Chinese namesake of this formula is Long Dan Cao (Chinese Gentian Root, Gentiana). This herb is bitter and cold. It both clears ascending Liver fire and drains damp-heat from the Liver and Gallbladder channels.

Huang Qin (Baical Skullcap Root, Scutellaria) and Zhi Zi (Cape Jasmine Fruit, Gardenia) are also bitter and cold. They drain fire and clear heat and dampness, thus act synergistically with Long Dan Cao.

Ze Xie (Water Plantain Root), Tong Cao (Rice Paper Pith), and Che Qian Zi (Plantago Seeds) clear heat, leach out dampness, and move damp-heat downward elimination from the body through urination.

Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia) clears heat, cools the blood, nourishes Yin, and generates fluids. Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica Root) nourishes Blood. Together they protect Yin and Blood from being damaged by the draining herbs above.

Chai Hu (Thorowax Root, Bupleurum) disperses Liver Qi and clears heat. The Chinese herb guides the other herbs to act in the Liver channel. And finally, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) harmonizes the action of all other herbs in the formula.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do you get HOT at night? This might be the herbal formula to cool you down. I've been told by a respected source that HOT Flashes are caused by the Fiery Liver and this product seems to prove that to me. I find that it works so much better to keep me calm and cool at night than anything else I've tried. It has many other benefits as well. I haven't taken it for long but am seeing great results already.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent I'm 70 years old and take it twice a day. I can feel the heat leaving my body. I was told by my herbalist that if I balanced my liver, my spleen would be healthier. I'm going to try the 3 month recommended program. I hope it will help moisten my dry eyes and keep my muscles healthy. My temperament is better too.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from never be without! I initially bought this for my husband to help with his mood (anxious with anger flare ups) And it is incredible how it works! But I myself have literally only taken this for 3 days and I am feeling so great. Happy again! It has been a tough year, so any help to relieve negative emotions is a plus. I have also noticed that it has helped to clear up a small patch of eczema on the back of my neck (I like spicy food too much) Hence the heat clearing properties of this herbal remedy. I will never be without it!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very Good! I was told that my liver was invading my spleen and that my liver needed to cool down. My temperament seem to match it. So far, it is calming it down. I think the issues that have created my fiery liver has been arising. It is good to find a way to forgive, to find resolution, to calm the mind. I think this is what has helped me along with this herb. I'm taking 2x the dose as suggested for a faster result.

My acupuncturist had recommended it after she listened to my symptoms and looked at my tongue and checked my pulse. I was experiencing lots of irritability and feeling short tempered. Anyway after using it for a week I noticed my temper calming down. So this is my go to formula when I have periods of being irritable and angry.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Did not work and gave me bad side effects I bought this and took it for 5 days as directed (5tablets before breakfast, lunch, and dinner). It made my stomach and throat feel like I drank something hot and it gave me body and joint aches. My bad knee became unable to bed and my muscles hurt so bad like they were all in knots especially in my back. The the last 3 days I started retaining water so bad that my legs looks swollen and huge so I had to discontinue use because everything was getting so painful. The pain in my back was even waking me up from my sleep. After one day of stopping use I’m already feeling less pain and my knee is able to move again. I was hoping from all the great reviews I would have good results but I guess this just didn’t work for me.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Less angry Diagnosed with strong liver by accupuncturist. Took regularly for a while and noticed a significant change in my ability to process frustration and stress. Like my tolerance for people's bullcrap went up. Also helped with waking up in the night from overheating. Very helpful. Now I only take as needed which is rarely.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Relieves anger Wow! With Liver Firecleae, you can really see and feel how anger is stored in the liver. This formula works immediately to dissipate that fire. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes. We use it as needed and not on a day to day basis but I would like to learn more about how it works and how to recognize the need for it.
