Clear Heart Fire & Guide Heat Downward • Oral & Urinary Heat-Clearing Formula
Symptoms
Oral Inflammations: Mouth ulcers (especially on the tip of the tongue), swollen or bleeding gums, and a persistent "burning" sensation in the mouth.
Urinary Distress: Dark, scanty, or painful urination (Lin syndrome) caused by Heart Fire "pouring" into the Small Intestine.
Facial Heat: Redness of the face, toothache that radiates to the temples, and a feeling of "rebellious fire" rising upward.
Mental Agitation: Irritability, restlessness, and a desire for cold drinks to "quench" the internal fire.
Key Indicator: "Heart Fire Transferred to the Small Intestine"—where the heat starts in the chest/tongue and follows the meridian pathway down to the bladder.
Tongue: Very red body, specifically at the tip (the Heart zone), possibly with sores.
Pulse: Slippery (Hua) and rapid (Shu).

Description
Dao Chi San is famous for its "Water-Directing" strategy. It clears fire not by "smothering" it, but by "guiding" it out through the urine.
The Cooling Chief (Sheng Di Huang): This herb is used in a high dose to cool the Blood and nourish Yin. It acts as the "Coolant" that prevents the Fire from drying out the body’s fluids.
The Drainage Specialist (Mu Tong & Dan Zhu Ye): Mu Tong is the primary herb for "guiding heat downward" into the Small Intestine and Bladder. Dan Zhu Ye (Bamboo Leaf) specifically clears heat from the Heart and chest, directing it toward the urinary tract.
The Harmonizing "Raw" Licorice (Sheng Gan Cao): Unlike the prepared version, Raw Gan Cao is cooling. It treats the pain of oral ulcers and urinary tract irritation directly.
The Blood Support (Dang Gui): In this specific version, Dang Gui ensures that as we clear heat and drain fluids, the Blood remains harmonious and doesn't become stagnant or "fried" by the heat.
Posology
Granules
3 to 9g daily, divided into 2 doses, taken with warm water.
Raw Plants
Decoct in 800ml of water. For oral sores, it is highly effective to "swish" the tea in the mouth before swallowing.
Cautions
Strictly contraindicated for Yin Deficiency without actual Fire, or for Spleen Cold (pale tongue, loose stools). Because Mu Tong is a strong diuretic and Sheng Di is very cloying, long-term use can weaken the digestion. Discontinue as soon as the tongue tip loses its bright red color and the urination returns to normal.
