China - Purge Heat 60T

China - Purge Heat 60T is a traditional Chinese herbal supplement formulated to clear excess internal heat and toxins from the body. Based on TCM principles, it is commonly used to relieve symptoms such as fever, sore throat, inflammation, mouth ulcers, constipation, and heat-related skin conditions like acne or rashes.

The formula works by cooling the body, promoting detoxification, and supporting the elimination of heat through the digestive system. It is typically used as a short-term complementary remedy to restore internal balance rather than as a substitute for conventional medical treatment.

It was originally developed to treat conditions caused by excess heat and dampness in the liver and gallbladder, which were believed to lead to symptoms like inflammation, irritability, and infections. Over time, the formula was adapted into tablet form (Pian) for modern use, making it more convenient while keeping the same core herbal combination.

Today, it remains a widely used remedy in TCM for heat-related conditions, especially those affecting the skin, urinary system, and hormonal balance.
