Dr. Karchmer on Wen Dan Tang | Warm The Gallbladder Decoction
“Wen Dan Tang or Warm the Gallbladder Decoction represents the unique perspective on health that comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine theory. We have only recently begun to recognize the relation between gut and mental health. Centuries ago doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine were already effectively treating mind and gut together with this formula.”

“I began relying on DAO Classic formulas a few years ago and have found them to be incredibly easy to consume and understand. Wen Dan Tang is another formula that I began using with incredible results. Like with many of DAO’s formulas, I recommend.”
