Diantu Decoction

Diantu Decoction,One feels hungry and thirsty and craves food and drink; but as soon as food or drink enters the lower abdomen, one feels full and bloated, and relief comes only after a severe bout of diarrhea—whether in the morning or evening, occurring several times a day and night as a regular occurrence. The complexion is sallow and gaunt, and the limbs and flesh have wasted away. This is not a deficiency of stomach qi, but rather a weakness of spleen qi.
