Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Promote Digestion and Relieve Food Stagnation

The Chinese herbal ingredients in Sanjiu Weitai Granules, such as Paeonia (Baishao) and Rehmannia (Dihuang), can regulate gastric qi and enhance digestive function. Patients suffering from indigestion or loss of appetite may experience improved digestion and increased appetite after taking Sanjiu Weitai Granules.

2. Anti-inflammatory and Antibacterial Effects

Ingredients such as Coptis (Huanglian) and Scutellaria (Huangqin) have significant anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, capable of inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria like Helicobacter pylori and reducing gastric inflammatory responses. These effects serve as an adjunct in the treatment of diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers.

3. Soothe the Liver and Alleviate Pain

Herbal components such as Aucklandia (Muxiang) and Poria (Fuling) can relieve gastric inflammation caused by liver qi disharmony or liver qi stagnation.

4. Regulate Gastrointestinal Function

Components such as Poria (Fuling) and Atractylodes (Baizhu) in Sanjiu Weitai Granules can strengthen the spleen, invigorate qi, promote gastrointestinal motility, improve indigestion and loss of appetite, and also regulate intestinal flora balance, thereby enhancing nutrient absorption.

5. Promote Qi Circulation and Blood Flow

Chinese herbal ingredients such as Scutellaria (Huangqin) and Alangium (Liangmianzhen) in Sanjiu Weitai Granules can promote the circulation of qi and blood, improving gastric blood circulation.
