Do you struggle with gut issues that just won’t quit—bloating, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, or digestive crashes after even a minor diet slip?

In this episode of Keeping It Real with Chinese Medicine, Jimmy Yen, L.Ac., aka the AcuSensei, breaks down one of the most powerful herbs in traditional Chinese medicine: Huang Lian (Coptis root). Often used for chronic digestive disorders, this bitter and cold herb supports the heart, liver, stomach, and large intestine, and contains berberine, a compound backed by powerful clinical research.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
🔹 Why Western supplements alone often fail for long-term gut healing
🔹 How Huang Lian clears heat, dries dampness, and reduces inflammation
🔹 The dangers of using single herbs without proper formulation
🔹 How Coptis root may aid conditions like ulcers, infections, gallstones, and even high blood pressure
🔹 Real clinical studies: 100% success treating bone infections, strong outcomes in hypertension and arrhythmia
🔹 Why you must consult a licensed TCM practitioner for herbal prescriptions

📣 Key Takeaway: Chinese herbs aren’t “just plants”—they’re time-tested tools with real clinical impact. But they must be used correctly, in proper combinations, and under expert care.
