2. San Jin Pian (Sanjin Tablets)

This formula primarily contains Radix Rosa Laevigatae (Multiflora Rose Root), Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae (Chinese Smilax Rhizome), and other ingredients. It clears heat, detoxifies, removes dampness, promotes urination, and benefits the kidneys. It is effective for treating acute and chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis, and urinary tract infections caused by damp-heat in the lower jiao, and can relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.

3. Long Qing Pian (Longqing Tablets)

Formulated with Rhizoma Alismatis (Alisma Rhizome), Semen Plantaginis (Plantago Seed), Patrinia Herba (Patrinia Herb), and other medicinal materials, this preparation clears heat, detoxifies, cools the blood, and promotes urination.

It is also suitable for chronic prostatitis with damp-heat accumulation syndrome.

This formula contains Gentianae Radix (Dragon胆Herb), Bupleuri Radix (Chai Hu), Scutellariae Radix (Huang Qin), and other ingredients. It clears heat and dampness from the liver and gallbladder and promotes dampness elimination. When damp-heat in the lower jiao is associated with liver-gallbladder damp-heat, presenting symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, short and dark urine, genital swelling or itching, this medicine can be used to clear damp-heat from the liver-gallbladder and lower jiao.

Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits is important in daily life. Avoid eating spicy, irritating, or greasy foods such as chili peppers and fried foods, and reduce alcohol consumption to prevent aggravating damp-heat in the lower jiao and delaying recovery.
