Diarrhea
Diarrhea’s main symptom is increased defecating frequencies, loose stools or with undigested food, sometimes even watery stools. Ancient people referred to sloppy stools as “Xie”, and watery stools as “Xie” (in Chinese, diarrhea is pronounced as “Xie Xie”). The disease may occur all year round, especially in the summer and autumn.
