Baizhong Yiqi Pills can be taken in cases of excessive liver fire. The main ingredients of Baizhong Yiqi Pills are Chinese herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula, stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala, and honey-fried Astragalus membranaceus, which have the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing blood, clearing liver heat and relieving depression, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the stomach. For conditions involving excessive liver fire accompanied by deficiency of qi and blood, these pills can help replenish qi and blood while mildly reducing liver fire. However, if symptoms are severe, medical treatment should still be sought.
