| Do you suffer from recurrent illnesses accompanied by frequent body discomfort? You may be suffering from a yang imbalance (excess fire) in your lower body. The Snake & The Dragon (long dan xie gan wan) is a special Chinese formula recommended to drain fire and clear damp-heat from the lower body. Packaging: 200 teapills
Recommended Dosage: 8 teapills, 3 times per day Also known as: Lung Tan Xie Gan Wan, Long Dan Xie Gan Tang, Long Tan Hsieh Kan Wan, Gentiana Drain the Liver Pills, Damp Heat Clearing Formula The Chinese believe that there should be a balance in the body between yin (internal fluids) and yang (fire of life). Yin and yang are equal and opposing forces that should be in harmony for optimal health. When either yin or yang becomes too dominant (or deficient), negative health symptoms can result. Rather than treating specific illnesses or infections, traditional Chinese medical theory focuses on creating harmony in all body regions, thereby strengthening the body to better withstand future illness. Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (The Snake and the Dragon) is one such example - a traditional herbal patent formula used to treat excess yang imbalance in the lower body. Too much yang, or fire, in the lower body may be indicated by frequent headaches, dizziness, bitter taste, red eyes, swelling, hearing difficulty, urinary problems, constipation and itching. In cases of recurrent bouts of illnesses accompanied by these symptoms, a long-term yang imbalance in the liver may be suspected. Long Dan Xie Gan Wan, also known as "The Snake and The Dragon", has been widely used by the Chinese to drain fire and damp-heat from the lower body. The Snake & The Dragon should not be confused with western antibiotics or antiviral and herpes medicines, which are recommended to overcome specific bouts of infection. In fact, in cases where excess use of antibiotics has contributed to candidiasis, or excess candida fungus growth, Long Dan Xie Gan Wan is often used to drain the damp heat associated with candida.
