Explanation

This formula is used for a more severe case of retention of food causing abdominal pain and
constipation with a very pronounced feeling of fullness in the abdomen.

• Da Huang dissolves food accumulation by moving downwards.


• Zhi Shi makes Qi descend and helps Da Huang to move downwards. It also relieves
  abdominal fullness.


• Huang Lian and Huang Qin clear Heat and drain Dampness. They therefore help to
  resolve food retention when this has given rise to Heat and Dampness.


• Fu Ling and Ze Xie drain Dampness and help to resolve food accumulation.


• Bai Zhu tonifies the Spleen and resolves Dampness.


• Shen Qu is a digestive herb which resolves food retention.
