	IBS due to Excess Cold
		In much the same way that when your hands are cold it is difficult to move the fingers, so it is that cold on the inside of the body will stagnate the flow of Qi energy and this is what causes the severe pain.
		Because the flow of this all important Qi energy is hampered, the movement of the Stomach or intestinal contents is hampered leading to constipation.
		This is a very strong formula and should it be taken for these symptoms that are not due to excess cold, it can cause problems, so be sure to only take this formula under the supervision of a duly licensed practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, or your great aunt from Taiwan.
