In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ongoing constipation is traditionally associated with toxic heat accumulation in the Intestines. This traditional framework is not a medical diagnosis, and this is a strong, short-term formula, not intended for daily or long-term use. Any persistent constipation, abdominal pain, or intestinal symptoms should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⚠️ Important:\u003c\/b\u003e Short-term use only — one 7-day course, no more than once every other month. Contraindicated during pregnancy, nursing, and menstruation. Not intended for individuals with weak constitutions, children, or geriatric individuals.
