See: Huang Qin TangAlternative NamesGe Gen Huang Lian Huang Qin TangGe Gen Huang Qin Huang Lian TangKudzu, Scutellaria, and Coptis Decoctionko ken huang lien huang chin tangBenefitsThis formula is used to cool what is hot. Internal heat generally smells bad, very bad. This can apply to flatulence or belching. Heat can also rise into the “Heart” which is said to store the spirit. Heat in the Heart then, can cause one’s passions to be more intense such that one might make a mountain out of a molehill. Ge gen (kudzu) is an herb often added to formulas to address neck and shoulder stiffness or muscle spasms, but it is also great for regulating spasms in the large intestine and regulates bowel transit times such that loose or wet stools will harden up. This particular formula is commonly used for that most unsightly of kinds of diarrhea one that is yellow, and explosive, with a strong odor that burns the anus. A closely associated situation is called “tenesmus” wherein one lacks the sensation of having completely finished their poop. There’s always a little bit left, or at least the sensation thereof.

Four Miracle Pills (Si Shen Wan) Posted on March 22, 2012 by Al Stone, L.Ac., DAOM Details of Four Miracle PillsWu Zhu Yu is the little purple dots in this image. Very strong taste, like a sweet aromatic pepper.Alternative NamesSi Shen WanThis formula warms up the digestive processes in order to more efficiently firm up the stools.This formula can be taken long-term, but if one is hypersensitive to cold temperatures, there are likely other symptoms that may appear due to this same lack of metabolic heat (or “yang” as we say in Chinese medicine.)As such, pay attention to related products that may appear on this page, or look around for other formulas for yang deficiency that may apply to you.Proper and efficient digestion relies on the body’s yang energy. In this context, yang is metabolic heat. When the metabolism of the body in general is deficient, the efficiency of the digestion is also going to be weakened.The reason that this sort of diarrhea is most prevalent in the early morning hours is because this condition is really due to a lack of heat in the body. The early morning hours are the coldest hours (energetically and thermally) and thus the body simply can’t keep the fecal matter in the body at this time of the day. Cold isn’t just a lack of heat, it can be an extra energy in the body too, which is another reason that the body responds with a bowel movement. The body can expel cold through the bowels, just like heat can be expelled through sweat.
