bubble_chart Indications

Stagnation of qi movement, internal obstruction of phlegm-dampness, and impeded blood circulation lead to the formation of an abdominal mass. As qi rises and falls, it causes intermittent episodes of colicky pain in the chest and abdomen, stabbing pain in the waist and flanks, abnormal rising of qi leading to suffocation, wheezing, cough, fullness, and oppression in the chest, distension in the lower abdomen, and difficulty in urination and defecation.
