This formula is also often helpful to address constipation in postpartum women (due to the loss of blood, fluids, and yin).
Often, more general signs of yin deficiency may also be present (e.g. hot flashes, night sweats, 5-center heat (i.e. sweaty palms and soles), and a subjective sense of feeling hot). The tongue will likely be red with no coating.
