V-Support treats damp heat in the lower jiao manifesting in vaginitis, cystitis, urinary tract infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginal discharge, genital itching, male genital infection, and pyelonephritis.

Long Dan (Radix et Rhizoma Gentianae) clears damp heat from the Liver channel, which travels through the genital region. Zhi Zi (Fructus Gardeniae), Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei), and Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae) all clear damp-heat and treat the infection. They work synergistically to relieve symptoms such as foul yellow vaginal discharge, dysuria, genital itching, and male genital infection. Feng Wei Cao (Herba Pteris), Ya She Huang (Herba Lippiae), and Pao Zai Cao (Herba Physalis Angulatae), indigenous herbs from Taiwan, are used to detoxify and reduce inflammation and infection of the genital organs. Di Fu Zi (Fructus Kochiae) clears heat and relieves genital itching.

Shui Ding Xiang (Herba Ludwigiae Prostratae) and Xian Feng Cao (Herba Bidentis) are potent herbs used in Taiwan to treat infections of the urinary system such as cystitis, urinary tract infection, nephritis, pyelonephritis, dysuria, turbid yellow urine. These herbs reduce inflammation, clear heat, and promote diuresis.

Bian Xu (Herba Polygoni Avicularia), Hua Shi (Talcum), Deng Xin Cao (Medulla Junci), Ze Xie (Rhizoma Alismatis), Che Qian Zi (Semen Plantaginis), and Qu Mai (Herba Dianthi) dispel dampness in the lower jiao and promote urination. Together, they dispel water and treat lin zheng (dysuria syndrome). To prevent the diuretic herbs from draining too much fluid from the body, Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae) and Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) are added to nourish yin and blood.

Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri) is a guiding herb to the Liver channel, which passes through the genital region. Niu Xi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae), descending in nature, directs the overall effect of the formula down to the lower jiao and, thus, to the genital region.

To enhance the overall efficacy of the formula, Tao Ren (Semen Persicae) and Hong Hua (Flos Carthami) are added to increase blood circulation to the lower jiao. Proper blood circulation improves the delivery of herbs to the affected area and, in exchange, helps to flush out toxins in the blood. Finally, Gan Cao (Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae) harmonizes the formula.

In conclusion, V-Support clears damp heat in the lower jiao to treat infection and inflammation disorders affecting the genitourinary region.
