Benefits

For the early stages of dysentery, characterized by a thick tongue coating, a sensation of fullness and oppression in the chest, and a hard abdomen that resists pressure.

Instructions for Use

Fresh ginger serves as the guide herb. After taking the decoction, if straining during defecation gives way to smooth and free bowel movements, and the stool changes from red and white to yellow, this indicates the medicine has effectively targeted the condition. If the condition is not yet fully resolved after one dose, administer another dose; however, carefully assess the severity of the food stagnation to determine whether to include or omit rhubarb.
