Xianglian Guben Pills,From *Formulas for Saving Lives*, Volume 3.,Chronic diarrhea leads to depletion of vital energy and blood, with residual toxins from damp-heat remaining unresolved. As the qi of the liver and spleen becomes deficient and collapses, and kidney qi fails to consolidate, the condition manifests as intermittent, uncontrolled diarrhea—whether in the form of undigested food, water, or feces. It may even progress to spleen-stomach deficiency-cold, resulting in an inability to eat; even if food is consumed, it is difficult to digest, accompanied by cold extremities and persistent alternating surges and subsidences of symptoms.
