• The following warning statement is required by the State of California: ―This product contains Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei). Read and follow directions carefully.
  Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain because Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health. Consult your physician if you have frequent diarrhea or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
• According to most textbooks and contemporary references, the classic entry of "He Shou Wu" is now separated into two entries: the unprepared Sheng Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori) and the prepared Zhi He Shou Wu(Radix Polygoni Multiflori Praeparata), as they have significantly different therapeutic effects and side
  effects. Sheng Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori) is a stimulant laxative that treats constipation, but may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and in rare cases, liver disorder (dose- and time-dependent, and reversible upon discontinuation).

On the other hand, Zhi He Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori Praeparata) is a tonic herb that is safe and well-tolerated. The dramatic changes in the therapeutic effect and safety profile are attributed to the long and complicated processing of the root with Hei Dou (Semen Sojae) through repeated blending, cooking, and drying procedures. When properly processed, the chemical composition of the root changes significantly. Many new compounds are generated from the Maillard reaction (four furanones, two furans, two nitrogen compounds, one pyran, one alcohol and one sulfur compound). Furthermore, the preparation process causes changes in the composition of sugars and 16 kinds of amino acids; it also reduces the pH of the herb from 6.28 to 5.61. In summary, these changes give rise to the tonic effects of the prepared roots, and eliminate the adverse reactions associated with the unprepared roots. Note: Due

to medical risks and legal liabilities, it is prudent to exercise caution and not use this herb in either prepared or unprepared forms in patients with pre-existing or risk factors

of liver diseases.

• Increase fiber intake, and avoid fast foods, processed foods, artificial sugars, and carbonated drinks.
• Give the body two to three hours between the last meal of the day and bedtime. When a person sleeps, the digestive system slows down as well. Make sure to give the body adequate time to digest the food before going into sleep mode.
• Always eat breakfast! According to the TCM clock, the most optimal time for the digestive system is in the morning from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.
• Drink warm or hot liquids with meals. Putting cold and ice on any part of the body will immediately constrict the flow of blood to that region. Similarly, drinking cold or iced drinks with meals will hinder the natural peristaltic movements of the digestive system.
• Chew food completely. The digestive system can process and absorb smaller pieces of food much better than food that is incompletely chewed. Larger pieces of food can lead to incomplete digestion and digestive discomfort.
• Incorporate fresh organic fruits and vegetables as well as high-fiber whole grains into diet.
• Drink at least two quarts of water daily.
• Do not eat processed meats, such as lunch meats, hot dogs, and sausages, as they contain nitrites that are associated with inflammation and chronic disease.
• Avoid deep-fried or greasy foods whenever possible.
• Eliminate things that are unhealthy (e.g., alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats) or potentially toxic (e.g., chemical-based household cleaners and personal hygiene products).
• Regular use of steam rooms or saunas can help to eliminate toxins through sweating.
• Take a 30-minute walk after meals to help stimulate the circulatory and digestive systems.
• Incorporate some form of cardiovascular exercise.
• Do not postpone bowel movements, respond to the urge immediately.

Take 3 to 4 capsules three times daily. Dosage can be increased up to 6 to 8 capsules three times daily. One round of cleansing is for one week. The treatment may be repeated every six months if necessary.
