It is used in Tibetan and Chinese medicine for clearing liver and gallbladder heat, promoting bile flow, dissolving and expelling gallstones, reducing jaundice, and treating conditions such as cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and other hepatobiliary disorders associated with damp-heat[1][2][3][7]. The mechanism of action is described in traditional terms as promoting bile secretion and excretion of bilirubin/cholesterol to dissolve stones[5].
