Signs & symptoms of intestinal dryness include:

Formula explanation: Within this formula, Huo Ma Ren, Tao Ren, and Xing Ren moisten the intestions and free the flow of the stools. Dang Gui nourishes the blood, moistens the intestines, and frees the flow of the stools. Sheng Di enriches yin and nourishes the blood, while Zhi Ke moves the qi.

Dosage: According to Him-che Yeung in Handbook of Chinese Herbs and Formulas, Vol. 2, the standard daily dose in decoction for this formula is 60 grams. Because of the 10:1 concentration ratio and the efficiency of our manufacturing process it would take only 8 capsules per day of Blue Poppy's version of this formula to equal the standard daily dose.
