bubble_chart Indications
Consumptive thirst: an intense desire to drink, consuming dozens of bowls at once before feeling slight relief in the stomach. Otherwise, there is epigastric discomfort, as if worms are crawling upward, accompanied by frequent hunger. Thirst lessens after eating but worsens if no food is consumed. This condition is classified as middle consumptive thirst.
