The Traditional Chinese Medicine view of your body’s Internal Organ Systems describes both hollow and solid organs making up the Zang-Fu System. For the most part, only the solid, Yin Organs are referred to when describing Chinese Medicine Patterns.
Even though the solid Yin Organs are mostly referred to, the complete Zang-Fu System should also be considered at all times.Â
The Zang-Fu System is commonly used to put together advanced Chinese Medicine Treatment Therapy programs. This includes:  Acupuncture, Tui Na [specialized Chi manipulation techniques] and Chinese Herbal Formulas Strategies.Â
For instance, your Liver Organ System includes [of course!] your Liver, a solid-yin organ and its hollow-yang couplet, your Gallbladder which resides behind [posterior] to your Liver.
This creates an intimate Yin-Yang type relationship based on Chinese Medicine knowledge. The Yin Organ creates while the Yang [hollow] Organ holds substances and then moves or releases them.
All organ system functions can be viewed by their associated reactive patterns. For instance, sharp abdominal pain after eating greasy, rich or deep-fried foods which also includes acute, emotional changes such as depression can be based on specific food intake, especially the ones listed here. Believing that this is only related to your Liver Organ System and excluding your Gallbladder Organ System would be simply inappropriate.
Your Gallbladder is located on the right side of your body, under your Liver. It is protected underneath your right rib-cage.
It is shaped like a very small pear with two ducts. One that receives bile that enters from your Liver, and one leading out to your small intestines.Â
Your Gallbladder, and its duct, can become clogged when stones are produced.
Since it is a hollow organ, it sends bile produced from your Liver into your digestive tract when needed.Â
Bile is a substance that helps to break down fats [lipids] in your body.
This makes it an extraordinary organ system.Â
In reference to Acupuncture Therapy, your Gallbladder Meridian starts at your small toe and travels along the outside of your leg, up your inner hip, your lateral back, atop your shoulder [where goose eggs can grow with tension!], up the back of your occipital bone and to many Acu-points on the side of your head [more tension and migraine-type headaches areas] and finally ends at your lateral, corner eye.
Your Gallbladder Organ System can be attributed to many Daily Disharmonies such as:
- Dull costal pain and fullness,
- Headaches,
- Dizziness,
- Vertigo,
- A bitter taste in mouth,
- Red eyes,
- Earaches and fluid accumulation,
- Jaundice,
- Pruritus [hives],
- Fatigue,
- Malaise,
- Lack of vitality,
- Abdominal distention,
- Poor appetite,
- Poor memory health and daily mentation,
- Heartburn,
- Acid regurgitation,
- Nausea,
- Constipation,
- Diarrhea,
- Difficult or burning urination,
- Genital swelling, smell or itching,
- Leucorrhea [genital fluid leakage],
- Kidney or Gallbladder Stones
- Foamy, smelly, burning urine
An often referred to Chinese Medicine Pattern termed:Â Damp Heat, can be directly connected to the above list and your Gallbladder Organ System.
How Chinese Medicine
Can Promote Gallbladder Health
There is no doubt that some of you are experiencing one or more of the above, listed Daily Disharmonies.
Millions of people go to their allopathic doctors every year because of many of these complaints. Your Gallbladder Organ System may, or may not be considered.
The difference here is that Chinese Medicine has a much, much different view of the interrelations of your Five Internal Organ Systems with chronic or acute medical problems.
To be perfectly blunt, Traditional Chinese Medicine is light years ahead with its broad and holistic view of how medical problems occur…and how to treat them.
We are just skimming the surface here with how significantly an unregulated, Gallbladder Organ System can affect so many other internal body functions. The effect on your internal fluid metabolism is being just one of them.Â
What is important here is that by viewing any health problems based on Chinese Medicine Pattern discernment will allow for appropriate Chinese Herbal Medicine Treatment Therapy. Usually a change of diet and life-style is part of the overall treatment protocol.
This can cause proper re-balancing and internal changes leading to a healthy life.
Needless to say, a healthy and properly regulating Gallbladder Organ System is of the utmost importance. Many people in the past have had their Gallbladder removed when an ‘attack’ was unbearable.
We at Heaven and Earth Chinese Medicine Healing Center cannot stress the importance of preventive health measures in relation to all of your internal organ systems on a regular basis.
Chinese Medicine Formulas
That Promote Gallbladder Organ System Health

By regulating your Gallbladder and Liver Organ Systems you are assisting with fat and sugar regulation helping with weight and emotional stability.
The Liver is the mother to the Heart based on Five Element Theory.
By regulating the connection between your Liver and Heart Organ Systems, you can calm excess fire patterns leading to insomnia, stress, anger, fright, nightmares and so on…
One of the special Chinese Herbs added to our H&E CMHC Gallbladder and Liver Health Formula is Jin Qian Cao. It has been included to assist with urination promotion, unblocking [breaking down] small stones and clearing damp heat.
The emperor Chinese Herb is Zhu Ru which has a great affinity to the Gallbladder Channel. It has the ability to clear thick, phlegm and heat, chi blockage in the chest [gallbladder region] and stops nausea and vomiting. Zhu Ru helps with bad breath related to Stomach Heat-a very common source.Â
We have also included Xia Ku Cao for its ability to clear heat, dissolve hard lumps and clear phlegm heat and Liver-Heart Fire. These properties in return can help with eye problems relating to heat and infection along with excess-type headaches [migraines].Â
The other side of this formula warms and transforms Chi blockage with Ban Xia, Chen Pi, Qing Pi and Gan Jiang.
Based on our ongoing commitment to bring to the foreground the advanced science of Chinese Herbal Medicine, we are proud to introduce another new addition to our Heaven and Earth CMHC product list.
This is our H&E CMHCÂ Drain The Fire Formula, also known traditionally as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan. We have created our own version of this very famous formula.Â
We have added Bai Shao-White Peony to our Drain The Fire Formula to assist with the protection of Yin along with the cooling and strengthening of your Blood.
Ban Lan Gen has been added to cool, detox and clear heat and infection. Ban Lan Gen, as a single Chinese Herb, assists with Liver Organ System inflammation, assisting with swollen glands, sore throat and skin conditions and has been carefully selected for our new formula.
Heaven & Earth CMHC Drain The Fire Formula’s main Chinese Herb, Long Dan Cao, is very powerful in clearing Damp Heat.  It is famous for treating urinary tract infections or any heat/fire in the lower part of your body.
Since Long Dan Cao is drying, the original formula has been created with Yin Nourishing Chinese Herbs such as Dang Gui-Angelica Root and Sheng Di Huang-Rehmannia Root. These are two extremely important Chinese Herbs for replenishing Blood and Yin which makes this a very interesting and brilliant way to understand why Chinese Herbal Formulas are so effective in effecting multiple patterns…simultaneously.
The goal with the Drain The Fire Formula is to twofold:
- to release, drive or clear Fire [Heat] out of your body
- to replenish the damaged Blood & Yin [a cooling aspect] with such herbs as Dang Gui and Sheng Di Huang
The Drain The Fire Formula works by clearing damp-heat from your Liver and Gallbladder Organ Systems, clearing damp-heat from the lower part area of your body including the bladder and large colon and cooling Fire from your Liver Organ System.
An excessive accumulation of the element of Fire can cause your Shen [Spirit] to not have a place to rest with a resulting irritable, wandering and unsettled Mind.Â
Emotions related to anger, anxiety and outburst are related to Liver Fire including: major tension headaches related to the eyes, bright lights, back and side of head [Gallbladder Channel] and neck.
Chronic neck and shoulder tension can be related to your Liver and Gallbladder Channels which may be relieved by the use of this formula. By clearing the Fire and replenishing the Yin, the Mind can rest and a body-mind harmony connection can begin to exist.
Long Dan Xie Gan Wan Assisting in the Treating of Herpes
The Drain The Fire Formula can be used as a first strike against all types of herpes, and then followed up by a formula such as Free, Easy & Relaxing Liver-Spleen Harmonizer Formula. Then followed by a possible constitutional Blood or Yin Tonic such as our: Blood & Chi Power Raw Formula, Abundant Health Raw Herbal Formula or Water Of Life Kidney Yin Formula.
This is a very general and simplified three tiered Chinese Herbal Formula Strategy approach that works to change your internal environment in addressing this common, biomedical problem. You may require the assistance of a qualified Chinese Medicinal Herbalist and should seek one out. We have used this approach with great success.
Ji Gu Cao Instant Tea clears cleans toxins and damp-heat from your Gallbladder and Liver Organ Systems.Â
It nourishes and invigorates Liver Blood. It is also useful for dispelling Liver Heat due to stagnation.
