Siwei Piyu Shu Granules have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, promoting digestion, relieving food stagnation, regulating qi flow to alleviate pain, improving appetite, and harmonizing gastrointestinal function. They are primarily used for digestive discomfort caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, and should be taken according to the instructions or as directed by a physician. If symptoms do not improve after three days of taking the medication, or if abdominal pain worsens, vomiting occurs, or other adverse reactions appear, prompt medical attention is recommended.

1. Strengthening the Spleen and Stomach: The ingredients such as Poria (Fuling) and Atractylodes (Baizhu) in this formula help tonify the spleen and stomach, enhance digestive and transforming functions, relieve bloating and loose stools due to spleen deficiency, and support the restoration of normal spleen and stomach physiology.

2. Promoting Digestion and Resolving Food Stagnation: For indigestion caused by food retention—such as belching, acid regurgitation, and fullness in the stomach and abdomen—the granules promote gastrointestinal motility, accelerate digestion and nutrient absorption, reduce accumulation of undigested food in the gut, and relieve associated discomfort.

3. Regulating Qi and Relieving Pain: By regulating the flow of qi in the spleen and stomach, the formula alleviates dull or distending pain in the epigastric region caused by impaired qi circulation. It is especially suitable for functional dyspepsia triggered by emotional stress or irregular eating habits, helping to reduce abdominal discomfort.

4. Improving Appetite: The granules help regulate spleen and stomach function, relieve poor appetite and lack of desire to eat caused by spleen deficiency or food stagnation, enhance taste sensitivity, increase food intake, and improve overall nutritional intake.

5. Harmonizing Spleen and Stomach Function: The formula holistically regulates the ascending and descending movements of the spleen and stomach, balances yin and yang within these organs, and reduces recurrent digestive issues due to functional imbalance. It is ideal for daily regulation in individuals with chronic spleen and stomach weakness.

The granules should be taken orally with warm water; avoid using excessively hot or cold water, which may affect efficacy. During treatment, consume easily digestible foods such as millet porridge and Chinese yam, and avoid spicy, greasy foods. Maintain regular meal times and avoid overeating to support recovery of spleen and stomach function.
