Zhi Gan Cao Radix Glycyrrhizae uralensis praeparataExplanation
This remedy tonifies Stomach- and Spleen-Qi, resolves Dampness and stops diarrhoea. It is
therefore particularly used if there is diarrhoea or loose stools. It is more wide-ranging in its
effect than the Liu Jun Zi Wan Six Gentlemen Pill in so far as, besides tonifying Qi, it resolves
Dampness and mildly tonifies Stomach-Yin.
The tongue presentation appropriate to this remedy is a Pale body with a sticky coating which is
possibly rootless in the centre.
