Linum & Rhubarb Combination by Sun Ten also known as Run Chang Tang clears heat, moistens intestines and promotes bowel movements.

Run Chang Tang translates as Moisten the Intestines Pill was originally formulated in the 13th century by Chinese physician Li Gao. He lived during the Genghis Khan invasions, a time of war where food shortages were common and people survived on rotting food and even human flesh. So Li Gao became founder of the school of supplementing earth, which was an innovative concept of regulating the digestive system in order to treat disease instead of just focusing on expelling pathogens. Run Chang Tang was one of the formulas recorded in Li Gao’s book on balancing the digestion. The formula went through a moderate revision over the centuries to make it into the effective constipation formula we use today.

Constipation, especially in the elderly marked by dry skin, hard abdominal wall or lax abdomen with hard stools resembling rabit excrement. The formula can be used for a long time without producing side effects.
