Treats internal damage with Spleen-Stomach vacuity weakness, food refused, or vomiting and diarrhea. After any great illness, for regulating and aiding the Spleen and Stomach, this medicine is extremely wondrous.

Powder the above; take 2 don each time stirred into a jujube decoction. Cutting 1 nyang and decocting with 3 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes also serves. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Sagunja-tang extended with food-like herbs — lotus seed, coix, yam, hyacinth bean — nourishing the Spleen with substances closer to porridge than medicine. The gold standard for chronic deficiency diarrhea, gentle enough for children and convalescents. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
