Also know as GREAT SAUSSUREA COPTIS This is a simple formula which clears stomach heat. It is very bitter and so capsules are encouraged. A few capsules at a time taken after meals should be fine. We have the powder also. SOME people like the taste.  In this formula the ingredients are pretty expensive unfortunately. It may be a total coincidence but people with H-pylori like this formula. The Chinese have a lot of sayings about Huang Lian such as "Compared to Huang Lian, my life is more bitter."
