Dr. Li Man
Danshen Longyan Decoction is indicated for conditions such as deficiency of both Qi and blood, fatigue, forgetfulness, long-standing epilepsy, and mental dullness. It is particularly beneficial for the supportive management of epilepsy. This decoction functions to clear liver heat and tonify the Heart and Spleen. It must be taken only under the guidance of a qualified physician; ingredients should be sourced hygienically and safely to prevent accidental ingestion of inappropriate substances. Note that Danshen Longyan Decoction should not be consumed long-term or in excessive amounts.
