Crimson Silk Ointment

Crimson Silk Ointment,In children with a pre-existing condition of malnutrition, compounded by weakness of the stomach and intestines, an invasion of cold pathogens may lead to diarrhea. If this persists without resolution, the stomach and intestines become increasingly depleted; cold and dampness then combine, causing parasites to become active due to this weakness. This may result in erosion of the internal organs, sores in the mouth or on the teeth, or ulceration of the anus.
