Dr. He Haochen
Individuals with excessive liver fire and heavy dampness may drink honeysuckle tea, chrysanthemum tea, or gardenia tea, which not only help reduce internal liver fire but also effectively promote the elimination of dampness. Incorporating heat-clearing and fire-purging foods into the daily diet—such as Chinese yam, coix seed (Job’s tears), and hyacinth bean—is also beneficial. Regular physical exercise—including running, mountain climbing, and stair climbing—can improve blood circulation and enhance the body’s resistance. Diet should emphasize light, easily digestible foods while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
