Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Ziyi
For people with excessive liver fire, taking Xuefu Zhuyu Pills is ineffective. The main ingredients of Xuefu Zhuyu Pills include Bupleurum, licorice, safflower, and other herbs, which function to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relieve pain, and reduce swelling. These pills can help alleviate symptoms such as insomnia, vivid dreams, dizziness, and vertigo caused by vascular blockages. However, they do not possess the effect of clearing heat or reducing liver fire. For reducing liver fire, one should consider taking Longdan Xiegan Pills instead.
