Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, Huang Lian is a strongly bitter and cold herb traditionally associated with clearing heat and drying dampness. It has long been included in classic formulas, often paired with herbs such as Scutellaria and Phellodendron, and is traditionally prepared by decoction. Because of its intense bitterness, it is typically used in small amounts within balanced formulas rather than alone.
