Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (Long Dan Xie Gan Pian, 龙胆泻肝丸), is a famous Chinese medicine for its popular use in purging the liver fire, cleansing the liver, and hepatitis. However, in recent years it gets known to cause kidney damages in numerous cases (for example, see Herbal Safety) because of aristolochic acid the original formula contains. For this reason, we have not sold any Long Dan Xie Gan Wan till now (May, 2007) that the current product is available that DOES NOT contain aristolochic acid.
