Cassia seed tea helps clear liver heat. Cassia seed is a commonly used traditional Chinese herb known for its properties of clearing liver heat, improving vision, promoting diuresis and bowel movement, and relieving fire-heat. Therefore, drinking cassia seed tea can effectively clear liver heat and reduce excessive liver fire. When combined with chrysanthemum and Uncaria, its effect in reducing liver fire is further enhanced. However, due to individual differences in constitution, it is advisable to consult a qualified healthcare professional before consumption.
