Comments

Excess of fatty and sugary food as well as excess alcohol produce heat and humidity in the liver and gall bladder. Germs and toxins can attack these organs. Impaired digestion capacities, as well as impaired transport-transformation function of the Spleen and Stomach, cause internal moisture to collect and transform into heat. All these phenomena cause an accumulation of Heat Moisture of the Liver and Gallbladder. It disturbs the function of drainage and decongestion, causes swelling and pain in the liver, gives a bitter taste in the mouth. The bile accumulates and causes the creation of stones.

This product drains this excess of bile, which allows the reduction and expulsion of stones (stones) of less than one centimeter.

If bile expulsion is severe and causes unpleasant symptoms such as irritating stools and vomiting of bile, decrease the recommended dosage.

If you are simply suffering from discomfort from congested liver, take one tablet, three times a day.

Cons-indications

  • Keep out of the reach of children.
  • If the stones are longer than 1 cm, there is a danger that they obstruct the common bile duct.
