Is Lianqiao Baidu Wan effective for excessive liver fire?
Generally, Lianqiao Baidu Pills may have a certain auxiliary effect on excessive liver fire accompanied by symptoms of heat toxicity, but their effect on simple excessive liver fire is limited, and the specific manifestations should be considered in the assessment. Detailed analysis is as follows:
If excessive liver fire is accompanied by symptoms of heat toxicity such as mouth ulcers, sore throat, red and swollen eyes, or skin boils, the heat-clearing and detoxifying effects of Lianqiao Baidu Pills can assist in eliminating internal heat toxicity, thus alleviating these associated symptoms.
If excessive liver fire only presents as irritability, dizziness and headache, poor sleep, bitter taste in the mouth, and no obvious symptoms of heat toxicity are present, Lianqiao Baidu Pills are not recommended. The primary function of this medicine is heat-clearing and detoxification; it has a weak effect on soothing the liver and regulating qi for simple cases of excessive liver fire. Inappropriate use may not relieve symptoms and could potentially increase the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort due to its cold nature.
In daily life, individuals with excessive liver fire should eat less spicy and greasy food, avoid staying up late and excessive emotional excitement, and may appropriately drink chrysanthemum tea or cassia seed tea to aid in regulation. At the same time, maintaining a regular lifestyle helps support normal liver function and alleviate symptoms.
