Uses:Constipation & Dry Intestines. Run Chang Wan (Peach Kernel Teapills, Tao Ren Wan, Smooth Tea Pill, Colon Moving Pill) is a natural and gentle Chinese herbal formula used to moisten and lubricate the bowels. It acts as a mild laxative, working to treat constipation associated with dry bowels and insufficient bodily fluids. Chronic constipation commonly occurs in the elderly and postpartum women, or following a febrile disease. Run Chang Wan is also used for constipation associated with chronic heat in the intestines.*
