What are the best and fastest medications for strengthening the spleen in cases of spleen deficiency?

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as "the best and fastest medicine for spleen deficiency." Spleen deficiency is commonly caused by factors such as irregular diet and excessive fatigue. Common symptoms include poor appetite, abdominal distension, and loose stools. Patients may take medicines such as Ren Shen Jian Pi Wan (Ginseng Spleen Strengthening Pills), Shen Ling Bai Zhu San (Dioscorea and Atractylodes Powder with Ginseng), Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan (Spleen-Qi Tonic Pills), Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan (Six Gentlemen Pills with Cardamom and Aucklandia), and Fu Zi Li Zhong Wan (Processed Aconite Stomach Harmonizing Pills) under a physician's guidance. Detailed explanations are as follows:
