Treats new or chronic intestinal wind and hemorrhoids in men and women, where pain is so severe that it is unbearable. Taking this medicine for no more than three to four times will yield results.
When first contracting this disease, itching or pain occurs, and hard nodules often form around the anus; this is hemorrhoids. If ulcerated, it is an anal fistula; if only bleeding occurs, it is intestinal wind. These conditions are caused by excesses of wind, diet, and five factors (referring to general lifestyle habits), leading to this illness. People often resort to external applications by physicians, but since the disease resides in the intestines with inherent parasites, removing the root cause is essential for the medicine to be effective.
