Liver-Cooling Pills

Liver-Cooling Pills,Pediatric rashes affecting the eyes, causing external opacities. When a child suffers from a rash but fails to observe dietary restrictions or rest, heat accumulates in the liver, surges upward into the eyes, causing eye pain, tearing, redness, dryness, photophobia, and difficulty opening the eyes. Toxins congest in the liver and diaphragm, leading to opacities; when swollen, these opacities appear silvery. Latent heat in the liver and gallbladder causes the “Five Softnesses”—a flushed face, red lips, and body heat.
