As soon as you finish eating, you have to have a bowel movement, which is called “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” in western medicine, and belongs to the category of “diarrhea” in Chinese medicine, usually due to the evidence of liver-exuberance and spleen-deficiency, which can be adjusted by using Painful Diarrhea Essentials Formula.
The main ingredients of Painful Diarrhea Essential Formula are Fenghuang, Paeoniae Alba, Chen Pi, Atractylodes Macrocephala. This formula is mainly used for symptoms such as abdominal pain caused by bowel sounds, diarrhea with loose stools and slow pulse, etc. It is mainly used for symptoms such as earth deficiency and wood multiplication, disharmony between the liver and spleen, and malfunctioning of spleen movement.
In this formula, Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen and stops diarrhea as the principal medicine, Paeonia lactiflora softens the liver and eases the pain (relieves urgent pain symptoms) as the subject medicine, Pericarpium Citriodora dries the spleen and transforms dampness as the adjuvant medicine, and Fenghuang dispels wind and disperses cold as the enabler medicine. This formula can tonify the spleen and soften the liver, dispel dampness and stop diarrhea, so it can be used to regulate.
The Essentials of Painful Diarrhea formula is used for liver-exuberance and spleen-deficiency with evidence of dampness in the intestines, and is contraindicated for patients with dampness-heat and heat-toxicity in Yangming.
