Pi Wei Kang Digestive Health Supplement

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Kidneys govern a person's congenital innate vitality and well being, and the Spleen governs the vitality and well being that a person acquires later in life.

When there is a deficiency in the Spleen energy, or when Spleen energy is unbalanced, if a person does not maintain a proper diet or suffer from poor digestion, this will lead to malnutrition and a weak consitution, setting the stage for the onset of diseases and health problems such as Anemia etc. Clinical symptoms of a weak spleen include stagnation of food in the stomach, tiredness, weakness, bloatedness, poor appetite, feeling cold, bad breadth, acid regurgitttion, dry mouth and thirst. If the condition persists, it may lead to stomach inflammation, ulcers, and even cancer.
