Rhubarb 17 may be used for the following:
Seven Forests Rhubarb 17 is an expanded version of the Ming Dynasty formula Linum & The Han Dynasty Formula for dry constipation that results from intestinal dryness associated with faulty distribution of moisture. This type of constipation does not require potent stimulant purgatives (a high dose of rhubarb or similar herbs) or agents to retain lots of water in the intestine (a high dose of mirabilitum). Instead, a gentle purgative action is attained by using only a small amount of Minor Rhubarb Combination (Xiao Chengqi Tang rhubarb, magnolia bark, chih-shih) to provide a mild downward push, coupled with herbs that moisturize the intestines, such as oily seeds ( persica, apricot, sesame) and blood nourishing herbs (tang kuei, cistanche).
Take 2-3 count, three times a day.
