If your eyes are frequently bloodshot, dry, itchy, and tear up when exposed to wind, accompanied by blurred vision, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) suggests these ocular issues are likely related to a deficiency in Liver Blood. TCM believes that "the Liver opens into the eyes" and "the eyes are able to see when the Liver receives blood." When Liver Blood is insufficient, these eye problems arise, often alongside symptoms such as numbness in the limbs, a dull complexion, and insomnia with excessive dreaming. In such cases, it is necessary to nourish the Liver, replenish the blood, clear Liver heat, and improve eyesight. I would like to share a Chinese patent medicine with you: Mingmu Dihuang Wan.

This formula is based on Liuwei Dihuang Wan with the addition of five herbs: Goji Berry (Gouqizi), Angelica Sinensis (Danggui), White Peony Root (Baishao), Abalone Shell (Shijueming), and Tribulus Terrestris (Jili). In addition to the original functions of Liuwei Dihuang Wan—nourishing the Liver and Kidneys, strengthening the Spleen, and promoting blood circulation—Goji Berry nourishes the Liver and blood; Angelica and White Peony promote blood circulation, replenish blood, soften the Liver to relieve pain, and moisten the intestines for bowel movements; Abalone Shell and Tribulus clear Liver heat, improve vision, soothe the Liver to relieve depression, promote blood flow, and dispel wind, which helps alleviate itching and tearing when exposed to wind. When combined, these ingredients effectively treat issues like excessive red blood cells, dryness, and tearing caused by Liver Blood deficiency.

A reminder to everyone: Traditional Chinese Medicine requires syndrome differentiation. If needed, please consult a professional physician for timely diagnosis, treatment, and conditioning.
