Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Ziyi
Patients with spleen deficiency, excessive dampness, and hyperactive liver fire can take Xiaoyao Pills. The main ingredients of Xiaoyao Pills include traditional Chinese herbs such as Poria (Fuling), Bupleurum (Chaihu), and Atractylodes (Baizhu). These pills have effects including clearing heat and detoxifying, soothing the liver and relieving depression, nourishing blood, and regulating menstruation. They help regulate liver function and effectively alleviate excessive liver fire. Although Xiaoyao Pills do not specifically treat spleen deficiency with excessive dampness, they will not worsen the condition either.
