Overview
Herbal DTX is a traditional Chinese herbal formula traditionally used to help support the body's natural metabolic clearance pathways — the liver, kidneys, and digestive channels — for those with ongoing exposure to environmental factors such as household chemicals, air quality, or general daily environmental factors. Herbal DTX is traditionally used to help clear heat, support elimination, and nourish yin.
⚠️ Do NOT use this formula to treat acute or serious poisoning — call 911 and get to the nearest emergency room immediately. Anyone with blood in the urine should use extreme caution, as this may indicate significant kidney damage requiring medical evaluation. Anyone who is disoriented or having a seizure associated with a suspected poisoning should see a medical doctor immediately. Contains Dan Shen, which invigorates blood — use with caution, and only under physician guidance, if taking warfarin or other anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy. Those with a sensitive stomach should take with food. This product contains Da Huang — do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain, as Da Huang may worsen these conditions. Do not use during pregnancy. Consult your physician if nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition. This formula is traditionally taken persistently over 6–12 months for optimal effect.
