Excessive liver fire and heavy dampness can be regulated through dietary therapy. Drinking teas such as chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, or winter melon and lotus leaf tea, as well as consuming red bean, coix seed, and Chinese yam powder, may help clear liver fire and resolve dampness. If symptoms persist, consult a physician for guidance on using proprietary Chinese medicines—such as Longdan Xiegan Wan (Gentiana Liver-Clearing Pills) or Yin Zhi Huang Oral Liquid—to alleviate liver fire and dampness. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and heat-inducing foods.
