Smooth Intestine comes from the “Danxi’s Mastery of Medicine” published by Zhu Danxi in the Yuan Dynasty in 1481 AD. It is a representative formulation for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome is a “Stagnation of the Liver and Deficiency of Spleen, Dampness and Heat of the intestines“. Liver Stagnation leads to the Qi Stagnation and causes pain; Spleen Deficiency and Intestinal Dampness cause bowel sound with pain, bowel diarrhoea, abdominal pain during diarrhoea and pain relief after diarrhoea, mucus stool. Smooth Intestine smoothes the Liver, strengthen the Spleen and removes Dampness and Heat. The irritable bowel syndrome, chronic ulcerative colitis, allergic colitis and other chronic intestinal diseases can be treated with Smooth Intestine.
