  • Moistens the Intestines
  • Unblocks the bowels

Formula Origin

Shen's Book for Revering Life (1773 AB)

Formula Description

Run Chang Wan is a 5-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Hemp Seeds (Huo Ma Ren) and Peach Kernels (Tao Ren) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1773 AB, it belongs to the category of formulas that moisten Intestines and unblock bowels. Its main actions are: 1) moistens the Intestines and 2) unblocks the bowels.

 

In Chinese Medicine health conditions are thought to arise due to "disharmonies" in the body as a system. These disharmonies are called "patterns" and the very purpose of herbal formulas is to fight them in order to restore the body's harmony.

 

From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as constipation or long-standing constipation for instance.
