Indications: liver–spleen qi stagnation causes symptoms like cold hands and feet, abdominal pain, diarrhea with a sensation of incomplete evacuation, and taut pulse. Or individuals experienced rib-side discomfort, pain and fullness in the epigastrium and abdomen that are due to liver qi stagnation. With proper modification, modern TCM often applies to help manage conditions such as chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, gallstones, rib side pain, gastric ulcer or gastritis.
