According to the *Taiping Shenghui Fang* (General Principles of the Holy惠民 Bureau Formulas): When infants and children fail to digest breast milk or food, they experience empty distension in the heart and abdomen, dryness and itching of the eyes, body heat with withered skin, dysregulation of the intestines and stomach, dysentery discharging five-colored pus and blood, gradual emaciation, intestinal parasites eroding the anus and rectum, worsening condition over time, and persistent dysentery. Hence, it is termed "Nei Gan" (Internal Kwashiorkor/Gan Syndrome).
