China – Smooth Liver 60 Tabs Nappi: 089560900

ChinaHerb Smooth Liver 60 Tablets (NAPPI: 089560900) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula based on Chai Hu Shu Gan Pian, used to support liver function and promote the smooth flow of “Liver Qi” according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is commonly taken to help relieve stress-related tension, emotional irritability, digestive discomfort, bloating, and feelings of fullness or tightness in the chest or abdomen. The formula combines classic herbs such as Bupleurum, Citrus peel, Peony, and Licorice, which are traditionally used to balance mood, support digestion, and ease stagnation. It is sold in South Africa as a complementary herbal supplement rather than a registered medicine.

🧪 Ingredients:

Typical herbal components include:

• Bupleuri Radix (Chai Hu)

• Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chen Pi)

• Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuan Xiong)

• Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiang Fu)

• Aurantii Fructus (Zhi Qiao)

• Paeoniae Radix (Bai Shao)

• Curcumae Radix (Yu Jin)

• Toosendan Fructus (Chuan Lian Zi)

• Glycyrrhizae Radix (Gan Cao)
  These are classical TCM herbs thought to influence “Qi flow” and digestive/liver related patterns.

🌿 Traditional Benefits:

• Relieves Liver Qi stagnation — Helps support the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) in TCM, which can ease tension caused by emotional stress. 
• Supports emotional balance — May help reduce irritability, mood swings, and feelings of stress or depressed mood.
• Eases discomfort in ribs/chest/abdomen — Used for sensations of fullness, distension, or pain in these areas linked to stagnation. 
• Aids digestive comfort — Traditionally applied to symptoms like stomach fullness, indigestion, chronic gastritis, or discomfort that worsens with stress. 
• May help with other stagnation-related patterns — Historically also used in chronic conditions such as mild cholecystitis, hepatitis, or neuralgia in the hypochondriac region.

⚖️ Safety & Precautions:

• Not evaluated by SAHPRA as a registered medicine; it’s generally sold as a herbal supplement.

• Always check with a healthcare provider before use, especially if you have liver disease, are taking medication, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.

• Discontinue and consult a professional if you experience any adverse effects (e.g., stomach upset, allergic reactions).

🧠 Note on TCM Concepts:

The idea of “Liver Qi stagnation” is specific to Traditional Chinese Medicine and not a recognised medical diagnosis in Western medicine. Effects are based on historical herbal use rather than clinical trials accepted by modern regulatory authorities.

Brief history:
Smooth Liver is based on the classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula Chai Hu Shu Gan San, which dates back several centuries and was first recorded during the Ming Dynasty. The formula was traditionally prescribed to address what TCM calls Liver Qi stagnation, a pattern believed to arise from emotional stress and tension affecting digestion and overall wellbeing. Over time, the formula was adapted into modern tablet form (Chai Hu Shu Gan Pian) for easier daily use. Today, products like ChinaHerb Smooth Liver continue this long-standing herbal tradition, combining ancient Chinese medical theory with contemporary manufacturing for use as a complementary health supplement.
