Ganji is a condition caused by malnutrition, post-illness imbalance, chronic diarrhea, intestinal parasites, and other chronic diseases. Most affected children experience loss of appetite, weakness, poor appetite, thirst, and irritability. According to traditional Chinese medicine, there are many causes of ganji in children, mainly due to the delicate organs and damaged spleen and stomach. It is believed that the disease develops over time due to the depletion of qi and body fluids, as well as the accumulation of pathogenic factors. It mainly affects weak children under the age of 5.
