Log in to view price

Zhenatura Dao Chi San Extra Strong is a traditional Chinese herbal preparation formulated according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This classical combination features botanical ingredients including Rehmannia root (Sheng Di Huang), Lophatherum leaf (Dan Zhu Ye), Tetrapanax pith (Tong Cao), and Licorice root (Gan Cao). These ingredients are traditionally valued for their ability to support the body’s natural fluid balance, promote a sense of inner calm, and maintain clarity in urination. Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang) and Lophatherum (Dan Zhu Ye) are used in TCM to help clear internal heat and gently cool the system, while Tetrapanax (Tong Cao) assists in maintaining a smooth, healthy urinary flow to guide out traditional “fire.” Together, these herbs help support emotional balance, a soothing internal environment, and overall vitality.

Main benefits

  • Pattern Identification: Traditionally used for the TCM pattern of “Heart Fire transferring to the Small Intestine,” characterized by irritability, restlessness, a flushed face, mouth or tongue ulcers (sores), thirst for cold drinks, and dark, scanty, rough, or burning urination.

  • Heart Fire Clearance: Sheng Di Huang and Zhu Ye powerfully clear Fire from the Heart channel, calming the mind, soothing intense irritability, and actively healing painful sores on the tongue and inside the mouth (as the tongue is considered the "sprout" of the Heart in TCM).

  • Downward Heat Drainage: Tong Cao (safely substituting for Mu Tong) provides a direct exit route for the trapped Heart Heat by leaching it downwards and expelling it through urination via the Small Intestine and Bladder pathway, thus relieving the urinary urgency and burning sensations.

  • Yin & Fluid Protection: Sheng Di Huang uniquely clears Heat while simultaneously nourishing Yin and generating fluids, ensuring that the intensely drying nature of Fire—as well as the diuretic action of the formula—does not exhaust the body's precious moisture.

  • Urinary Relief & Harmonization: Gan Cao clears Heat, relieves toxicity, and specifically soothes the urinary tract, easing the pain and spasm associated with hot, scanty urination while harmonizing the cold herbs to protect the stomach.

  • Classical Heritage: A brilliant pediatric and general formulation from the 11th-century text Xiao Er Yao Zheng Zhi Jue (Key to Therapeutics of Children's Diseases), historically revered for its elegant, gentle, yet highly effective method of "Guiding out the Red" (Fire/Heat) through urination without damaging the Yin.

Zhenatura Dao Chi San Extra Strong is based on the classical Dao Chi San (“Guide Out the Red Powder”), traditionally attributed to the Northern Song‑dynasty pediatric text Xiao Er Yao Zheng Zhi Jue (“Key Prescriptions for Children’s Diseases”) by physician Qian Yi and later incorporated into broader TCM practice for “Heart Heat” patterns. Within traditional Chinese herbal literature, the standard four‑ingredient version—prepared from Radix Rehmanniae (Sheng Di Huang), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gan Cao), Caulis Akebiae (Mu Tong, historically often specified as Chuan Mu Tong and used together with Tong Cao in some lineages), and Herba Lophatheri (Zhu Ye), and in modern supplements combined with an inert base such as corn starch—is described as a method to “clear Heart Fire,” “nourish Yin and cool the Blood,” and “promote urination to guide Heat downward through the Small Intestine” according to the TCM theoretical framework. These descriptions belong exclusively to the traditional conceptual system of Chinese medicine and do not refer to modern cardiology, urology, pediatrics, or scientifically validated physiological effects.

Aphthous Stomatitis (Mouth and Tongue Sores) — Clearing Heart Fire
https://www.hjmedicalgroup.com/en/post/dao-chi-san

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

A primary clinical application of Dao Chi San is the treatment of acute, painful oral ulcers (canker sores), glossitis (tongue inflammation), and oral thrush, particularly in children and stressed adults.

Because the formula was originally designed for pediatrics, it is highly effective and gentle for "goose-mouth sores" (thrush) in infants and recurrent canker sores in adults that flare up during periods of high stress or lack of sleep.

In TCM, the tip of the tongue corresponds to the Heart. When a patient presents with painful, red-rimmed mouth sores, a red tongue tip, and irritability, it indicates Heart Fire. Sheng Di Huang and Dan Zhu Ye work pharmacologically to provide mild anti-inflammatory effects and promote mucosal healing, directly soothing the oral cavity and calming the central nervous system.

Acute Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and Cystitis — Guiding Heat Downward
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7256769/

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Dao Chi San is heavily utilized for urinary disorders characterized by heat and inflammation, such as acute cystitis, urethritis, and hematuria (blood in the urine).

Clinical data in Taiwan has shown that Dao Chi San is among the top five TCM formulas prescribed for preventing and treating symptomatic urinary tract infections, often used alongside formulas like Wu Lin San. Pharmacologically, the formula acts as a mild, potassium-sparing diuretic with anti-inflammatory properties. Mu Tong physically increases urine output to flush bacteria and inflammatory byproducts out of the urinary tract, while Gan Cao Shao acts as a localized antispasmodic and analgesic to stop the burning, stinging pain of the urethra.

In TCM, this is the literal "guiding out the red" (flushing the Heart Fire out via the Small Intestine and Bladder). Furthermore, when UTIs cause bleeding (hematuria), the Sheng Di Huang protects the blood vessels from further heat damage and stops the bleeding.

Pediatric Restlessness and Insomnia — Calming the Spirit
https://www.hjmedicalgroup.com/en/post/dao-chi-san

Please note: This summary is a concise interpretation of the original article; please refer to the source for the full context and details.

Because children have delicate metabolisms that quickly generate heat, they often suffer from "night crying," restlessness, and mild feverishness without a clear infection.hjmedicalgroup.

Dao Chi San is a staple in TCM pediatrics for calming the central nervous system. Dan Zhu Ye and Sheng Di Huang gently clear the agitation from the Heart, allowing for restful sleep without suppressing the immune system or heavily sedating the child.
