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.

Citrus and Crataegus Formula (Bao He Wan) Posted on March 20, 2012 by Al Stone, L.Ac., DAOM Details of Citrus and Crataegus FormulaShan Zha or Hawthorn Fruit helps digest meat and lower cholesterol.“Digest The Mess”This formula is called a “digestive” formula in Chinese medicine. This suggests that it helps the body digest. But the formula is really for sluggish movement from the stomach down through the intestines.When there is sloppy, sluggish, sticky, smeary stools with a strong odor this is the formula for you. This can show up looking like either diarrhea because the stools are not well-formed, or constipation because they are sluggish and difficult to get out of the body.Now, this formula only does half the job. This helps you digest foods that are difficult to digest. Obviously, you’ll want to pay attention to what you’re eating and look into finding out what is not easily digested and of course eating less of that.Foods that are difficult to digest include greasy, fatty, deep-friend, dairy, meaty things. If your restaurant has a take-out counter, you may be eating foods that are tasty, but ridiculously unhealthy. I’m guessing that I’m not telling you anything new on this one.Not everybody is VERY sensitive to dairy. This milk issue causing problems may be unique to those with a lactose intolerance. This often runs in genetic pools. Many Asians do not digest dairy well and so it may be that dairy is more of a problem for those who are lactose intolerant only.Alternative NamesBao He WanPreserve Harmony PillsHarmony Preserving PillsCitrus and Crataegus Formula Continue reading »Availability status: in stockOrder Citrus and Crataegus Formula100 grams powder (no capsules) @ $30.00200 grams powder (no capsules) @ $50.0050 grams powder (100 capsules) @ $25.00100 grams powder (200 capsules) @ $40.00Bulk discount: 200 grams powder (no capsules): buy 4 get 1 free @ $200.00Bulk discount: 100 grams powder (200 capsules): buy 4 get 1 free @ $160.00 Qty:
