Coptis Relieve Toxicity Formula (Huang Lian Jie Du Pian) is based on a classical Chinese formula known as “Coptis and Scute” used to clear heat from the three burners. It is used for symptoms resulting from liver heat, heat in the blood, and heat in the heart. Rhubarb (da huang) and lophatherum (dan zhu ye) have been added to aid in the formula’s ability to drain damp-heat.
