Clear Heat

Clear Heat helps address deep-seated inflammation, stubborn skin flare-ups, and chronic infections marked by heat signs — such as redness, swelling, itching, or persistent irritation. This formula is ideal for those navigating long-term viral or bacterial conditions that never fully resolve or frequently recur.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these symptoms may reflect an accumulation of toxic heat lodged in the organs or tissues, often accompanied by phlegm and stagnation. Clear Heat disperses internal fire, cools the blood, and dissolves phlegm nodules, while gently restoring vitality by tonifying kidney essence and lung yin.

Clear Heat combines powerful botanicals like Isatis leaf and root, Andrographis, and Japanese honeysuckle — all known for their ability to clear heat, purge toxins, and combat infection. These herbs help expel lingering pathogens that have lodged deep in the system, offering relief from long-term inflammatory or infectious states.

Cordyceps, a revered tonic in Chinese Medicine, balances the clearing actions of the formula by supporting the body's core vitality (kidney essence) and moistening the lungs — making Clear Heat suitable for longer courses of use. Kombu and Prunella assist in reducing swollen lymph or nodules, while Licorice harmonizes the blend and enhances absorption.

You may consider Clear Heat if you regularly experience signs of internal heat — such as stubborn rashes, chronic viral flare-ups (herpes, shingles, Epstein-Barr), recurring throat or skin infections, or long-term inflammation that doesn’t fully resolve. This formula is especially useful when your symptoms feel hot, irritated, or stuck in a cycle.

Clear Heat is often paired with other formulas for specific presentations (e.g., joint pain with Mobility 2, hepatitis with Rehmannia & Milk Thistle, or eczema with Skin Balance). It is not typically used as a stand-alone long term but is effective in short 2–3 week clearing phases.
