Frequently asked questions
What is Benefit Gallbladder (Li Dan Tang)?
Benefit Gallbladder, or Li Dan Tang, is a modern Chinese medicine formula in liquid tincture form, designed to harmonize the Gallbladder. It brings together eight herbs, including Lysimachia (Jin Qian Cao), Bupleurum (Chai Hu), and Artemisia scoparia (Yin Chen Hao). It comes in a 1 oz bottle with a dropper and is made in the USA by root + spring.
What is Li Dan Tang traditionally used for in Chinese medicine?
In Chinese medicine, Li Dan Tang is traditionally used to clear damp-heat from the Liver and Gallbladder, promote urination, and nourish the Liver. It is formulated to support normal gallbladder function and general liver health. In TCM, damp-heat in this area is often associated with a heavy feeling under the ribs, a bitter taste in the mouth, and discomfort after greasy meals.
What herbs are in the Benefit Gallbladder tincture?
The formula contains Scutellaria (Huang Qin), Lysimachia herb (Jin Qian Cao), Costus root (Mu Xiang), Lonicera flower (Jin Yin Hua), Artemisia scoparia (Yin Chen Hao), Bupleurum root (Chai Hu), Isatis leaf (Da Qing Ye), and Rhubarb root (Da Huang). Together these herbs are traditionally used to cool heat, drain dampness, and keep Liver and Gallbladder qi moving smoothly.
How do I take Li Dan Tang tincture?
Shake the bottle well before each use. For the maintenance serving, stir 1 to 2 droppers (about 1/2 teaspoon) in warm water or juice 2 to 3 times daily. The augmented serving is 1 full teaspoon 2 to 3 times daily in warm water or juice. If you would like less alcohol, place your serving in hot water first so some of it evaporates.
How long does it take for Benefit Gallbladder to work?
Chinese herbs work by gradually restoring balance, so they are usually taken for longer than pharmaceuticals. Most people take a formula like this for at least a month, and often longer, depending on the individual and the nature of what is being addressed. Consistent daily use tends to matter more than taking a larger amount for a few days.
What does Li Dan Tang taste like?
Like most Chinese herbal tinctures, it tastes earthy and bitter, and the Scutellaria and Rhubarb root give it a noticeably bitter edge. Mixing your serving in warm water or juice softens the flavor considerably. If the alcohol taste bothers you, place the serving in hot water for a few minutes so some of the alcohol evaporates before you drink it.
Who should not take Benefit Gallbladder (Li Dan Tang)?
Avoid this formula during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless a practitioner advises it. It contains Rhubarb root (Da Huang), which has a laxative action, so it may not suit people with loose stools or a sensitive stomach. If you take prescription medicines, check with your doctor first. For severe pain or if you feel acutely unwell, contact your doctor right away rather than relying on herbs.
How big is the bottle and how long does it last?
Each bottle holds 1 oz of liquid tincture and includes a dropper. At the maintenance serving, that is approximately a 10 day supply. If you use the augmented serving, a bottle will go faster. Because Chinese herbal formulas are usually taken for a month or more, it can make sense to order a few bottles at once.
