In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is traditionally associated with damp-heat and toxic-heat affecting the Intestines. This traditional framework is not a medical diagnosis, and any rectal bleeding or persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⚠️ Important:\u003c\/b\u003e Contraindicated during pregnancy. Contains Dang Gui, so those taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications such as warfarin should use with caution or avoid this formula, and should consult their healthcare provider first. Anyone with bleeding hemorrhoids should avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, as these may increase bleeding.
