Ingredients+

Three herbs from one classical formula, plus a prebiotic. Inula Flower (Xuan Fu Hua) supports healthy digestive flow. Licorice Root (Gan Cao) soothes the stomach lining. Hematite (Dai Zhe Shi) helps calm digestive disturbances at their source. IMO prebiotic feeds good gut bacteria and adds gentle sweetness with no sugar. Nothing else. No fillers, no alcohol, no preservatives.

What's included+

Your bottle (30-day supply, 60 servings), a measuring spoon, Dr. Lyda Kermani's TCM Digestion Guide, and free access to the OhMyGerd app to track your symptoms and spot your patterns.

How to Take+

One 2ml spoon, twice a day, 30 minutes before meals. Stir into warm water like a tea. Mild herbal taste with a note of licorice. The syrup is intentionally thick. That is the concentration. Rinse the spoon after use so the wooden cap stays clean.

What it helps with+
  • Digesting better, especially after heavy meals or drinking
  • Managing acid and that burning feeling
  • The lump-in-the-throat sensation
  • Phlegm and constant throat clearing
  • Silent reflux support

Is Liao for you?

Liao may be a fit when meals regularly come with:

  • Occasional burning or acid rising
  • Heaviness after eating, or food that feels like it sits too long
  • Belching, digestive pressure, or bloating around fuller meals
  • Nighttime digestive discomfort
  • Fear or hesitation around certain foods
  • A desire for natural support alongside an existing routine
The goal is not perfection. It is more comfort, more confidence, and less of your life organized around digestive pain.
Choose Your Liao Plan
The Chinese medicine approach

In Chinese medicine, digestion has a direction.

The stomach's energy is traditionally understood to move downward. When that movement rises instead, Chinese medicine calls it rebellious stomach qi.

Liao is inspired by a classical formula called Xuanfu Daizhe Tang traditionally used to support healthy downward digestive movement and bring the digestive system back toward balance.

Choose how Liao fits your life

One formula. Two ways to use it.

For the fuller meal
Support when life gets fuller.

Keep Liao close for dinners out, travel, celebrations, and meals you know may feel heavier. Take one measured spoon approximately 30 minutes before the meal.

Enjoy the moment with more digestive support behind you.
For recurring discomfort
Build a consistent ritual.

When burning, reflux, heaviness, or nighttime discomfort is recurring, consistency matters. Take one measured spoon twice daily, approximately 30 minutes before meals. The 90-day plan gives you three months of consistent support at the lowest price per bottle.

More time to observe your patterns and build confidence around meals.

Questions

Asked, answered.

Can I take Liao with a PPI or H2 blocker?+
Liao can be used as digestive support alongside an existing routine. Leave approximately 30 to 60 minutes between Liao and medications. Liao is not a replacement for prescribed medication. Speak with your healthcare provider before changing or discontinuing any medication.
Are there any side effects?+
No serious side effects have been reported with Liao. A small number of customers notice mild nausea when they first start. In Chinese medicine this points to cold in the stomach, a digestive system that wants a little warmth before the formula can do its work. The fix is simple: simmer a few slices of fresh ginger in hot water and drink it first thing in the morning, before you take Liao. The ginger gently warms your digestive system, balances the formula, and the nausea should fade. If it persists, speak with your healthcare provider.
How long does it take to notice a difference?+
Experiences vary. Some customers notice changes in digestive comfort early, while others require more consistent use. One or two servings are not enough to judge Liao. Pay attention to your digestion and comfort over several weeks.
Why do you recommend the 90-day plan?+
Recurring digestive patterns usually deserve more than an occasional serving. The 90-day plan gives you enough product to use Liao consistently, observe how your digestion responds, and pay the lowest price per bottle.
Can I use Liao only around heavier meals?+
Yes. Some people keep Liao for meals out, travel, celebrations, or periods when their normal routine changes. For recurring discomfort, twice-daily consistent use is recommended.
How do I take it?+
Take one measured spoon twice daily, approximately 30 minutes before meals. Mix it into warm water to warm up the digestive system like an oven before eating.
What does it taste like?+
Liao has a smooth, honey-like texture with a gentle herbal taste and a natural licorice note. People who prefer a lighter taste can mix it into warm water.
What makes Liao different from DGL, slippery elm, or other natural products?+
Those ingredients are often used individually or combined as a list of digestive ingredients. Liao begins with a classical Chinese medicine formula. Each ingredient was selected for its role within the whole formula and for how it supports the other ingredients. It is also concentrated at a 10:1 ratio and formulated by a doctor of Chinese medicine.
Does Liao contain DGL licorice?+
No. Liao contains traditional licorice root, known as Gan Cao in Chinese medicine. Using DGL would alter the effectiveness of the formula, that is why we choose the original root.
Can licorice root affect blood pressure?+
Licorice root can affect blood pressure, in some people. We tested the formula for 6 months on many different cases before launching it, and have never experienced a raise in blood pressure. Even our customer never reported it. If you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney concerns, or take diuretics, corticosteroids, or heart medication Speak with your healthcare provider before using Liao.
Can I take Liao with other supplements?+
Liao can generally be used alongside other supplements. Leave approximately 30 to 60 minutes between Liao and other products when possible.
Can I take Liao while pregnant or breastfeeding?+
Yes, preferably from 2nd trimester onwards. Speak with your healthcare provider before.
What symptoms does Liao support?+
Liao is formulated to support healthy digestion and stomach comfort, including experiences such as occasional burning, upward discomfort, heaviness after eating, belching, bloating, and nighttime digestive discomfort. Throat clearing, phlegm, a raw throat, or a lump sensation can have several causes. Speak with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation.
What is the return policy?+
Liao comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility. See the complete return policy for eligibility and instructions.

Food should not take up this much space in your mind.

Support your digestion. Feel more at ease around meals. Make room for the life happening around them.
