Chronic bleeding due to Spleen Yang deficiency.
General weakness and fatigue due to Spleen Yang deficiency.

Li Zhong Wan is traditionally prepared as a honey pill. It is a warming, drying and nourishing formula that strengthens Spleen Yang. It suitable for digestive weakness in those with a cold constitution, watery diarrhoea and abdominal pain that is alleviated by heat or pressure.
Spleen Yang is responsible for maintaining body temperature, digestive function, muscle tone, keeping blood and other fluids within the vessels, and strengthening our immune response.

Studies suggest that Li Zhong Wan increases the levels of antioxidant enzymes in gastric tissue, suppresses inflammation and may also play a role in ameliorating the gut wall. It can both prevent injury to the gastrointestinal wall and promote healing.
Li Zhong Wan is gentle on the stomach, as it allows the weakened Spleen Yang to slowly recover. It is well tolerated by patients who may otherwise react poorly to herbal medicines.

In cases involving bleeding, Li Zhong Wan is appropriate when the blood is pale in colour.
Other associated signs and symptoms include weak muscle tone, pale complexion, fatigue, poor appetite, and importantly for this formula, an absence of thirst.
