What brand? Chinese import?

Formulas can differ, so it's unclear what all is in your

formula, but here is a Yin Chao Jin from Health Concerns,

a reputable American manufacturer:

{Moderator: removed link/solicitation}

This is basically a strong " clear the heat " formula for short

term use, used mostly in acute viruses with fever

due to the isatis. This particular product probably

wouldn't be used for headaches, though I don't rule out

that it might work for some people for short term use.

Need to look into causes of course, and cause would likely

point to the right approach.

There is nothing in it this product

that would be a laxative, especially

at that single low dose. However I have known some people to

have idiosyncratic laxative reactions to other " clear heat "

formulas that were milder, maybe 10-20% of persons?

Chinese imports have occasionally been known to have other

things in them. I only use American-manufactured TCM formulas,

some of which are OTC such as Planetary Herbals and some of

Nature's Sunshine Products (Chinese line), or available

thru health practitioners such as Health Concerns and Blue Poppy.

Let it cycle out of your system. Take some extra fiber and

cal/mag to get things going again. If there is a purge,

then it can take remaining contents a while to catch up but

can become more dried out in the process.

And write the product off as a bust for you.

The formula may have minor differences from other manufacturers

than my example above.

A " clear heat " formula is an interesting choice for headache...

There are several variations on " clear heat " formulas.

Planetary Herbals has one called Red Clover Cleanser (originally

called River of Life years ago), and Nature's Sunshine has

IF-C. They are milder than the Health Concerns example above,

sold thru health professionals.

Again, root cause would be the thing to address.

I used to take it sometimes for bad colds or the flu. Taking too much would

upset my stomach.

Maybe you're allergic to one of the ingredients? A few things I'm allergic to

give me bowel problems.

Have you called and ask them about it?
