Benefits
Masses and masses. Weakness of stomach qi prevents proper digestion; occasionally, when hard foods are consumed, they remain in the stomach. Over time, they transform into tangible masses that move erratically within the abdomen, causing unbearable pain during movement. The pain is relieved by eating, but the mass gradually enlarges, eventually causing pain even when food is present.
Instructions for Use
Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, severe abdominal pain will inevitably occur; under no circumstances should you drink tea or water; endure it for half a day. If you feel thirsty, drink the decoction from the second boil; shortly thereafter, all parasitic matter and impurities will be expelled, and you will be cured—a second dose is unnecessary.
