Use of recipe according to traditional Chinese medicine:

-clears damp heat in the gallbladder

-upsets accumulations - gallstones

-clears the Liver and bile ducts

Description:

After obtaining his professorship in Phytotherapy in China, Chinese Professor Dr. Li Jie has been running a successful practice in the Netherlands for many years and enjoys great popularity with both his patients and students. He has also been teaching in the Czech Republic for many years. From him comes a modification of the modern mixture for breaking gall bladder stones - Si Jin Tang.

It contains herbs that clear the damp heat and the Shao Yang section where the Gallbladder path belongs, herbs that stir up, attack the accumulations from below and carry them away through the stool, and those that clear the Liver, whose main job is to keep everything flowing smoothly. In addition, there are herbs in the mixture that regenerate the Liver and the biliary tract as well, such as both peonies, white and red, and pawpaw.

The blend works by releasing the accumulation of damp heat in the Gallbladder that manifests as stones and sand, and related problems such as pain, pressure or prickling in the lower part of the gallbladder with feelings of "indigestion". This dissolves the stones into sand and by promoting peristalsis in the bile ducts and the gallbladder itself, allows them to pass freely through the stool. Therefore it is said that after the application of this mixture there should be a stool after which there is a "good feeling and relief".
