This formula is designed particularly for chronic diarrhea/loose stools, but may also be used for other signs of Spleen Deficiency from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective. Signs of spleen deficiency may include weakness, poor absorption of nutrients, pale face, fatigue, poor appetite, abdominal distention (bloating), and/or loose stools.
