CoptiDetox is a traditional interpretation of the classical formula Coptis Relieve Decoction (Huang Lian Jie Du Tang). This formula is very effective at dispelling strong obstruction of the Upper, Middle and Lower Burners by Fire invasion penetrating both the Interior and Exterior of the body.
Known together as “the four yellows”, all of the ingredients are bitter and cold and drain Fire from all three Burners. The chief herb, Coptis rhizome, is the herb of choice for draining Fire from the Heart and the Middle Burner, and to cool the Blood. Gardenia fruit drains Heat from all
Burners through the urine and cools the Blood. Chinese skullcap root clears Heat from the Upper Burner as well as Liver and Gallbladder Heat, while Phellodendron bark clears damp Heat from the Lower Burner.
CoptiDetox can complement other formulas that address an underlying Yin, Blood or Spleen deficiency where additional Heat or Fire clearing actions are desired.
Combine with Rehmannia Six for underlying Kidney Yin deficiency with Heat and Fire accumulation. Combine with Bright Eye Rehmannia for Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency with Damp Heat or Fire. Combine with Four Gentlemen to protect the Spleen from injury due to the cold nature of CoptiDetox.
