What Is It?
Gentle Lax (Excess) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy bowel movements when constipation is associated with excess heat or accumulation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this pattern may involve dryness, internal heat, or stagnation in the intestines.
This formula promotes comfortable elimination while addressing the underlying excess pattern.
Common Uses
Occasional constipation
Dry or hard stools
Abdominal fullness
Heat-related digestive imbalance (TCM pattern)
Sluggish bowel movements with signs of excess
