Modern Research Perspective
Pig bile contains bile acids, pigments, enzymes, and proteins. Experimental studies have explored antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, digestive, and tissue-related directions, but evidence is limited and preparation-dependent.
Human clinical evidence for Pig Gall Powder as a standardized single material is sparse. Infection control, contamination, allergy, interactions, dose, and long-term safety require rigorous evaluation.
Traditional Function
Pig Gall Powder is traditionally bitter and cold. It is used in regional practice to clear heat, detoxify, reduce swelling, and address selected throat, skin, or digestive heat patterns. Animal source, processing, and cleanliness are part of medicinal identity.
