This formula comes from Su Dongpo's family collection; it is said that those who use this medicine achieve miraculous results. The names of cured patients were recorded in detail, which are not repeated here. I have used this formula for over ten years with consistent efficacy: Spleen diarrhea resolves immediately, and general diarrhea/dysentery shows improvement after just one dose. However, it is not suitable for Heat Dysentery or Heat Diarrhea because the medicinal properties are hot; it should be used according to the syndrome.
