Dr. Luo Li
Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills promote liver qi circulation, clear heat, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the blood. This traditional Chinese patent medicine is derived from Xiaoyao Pills, with the addition of two herbal ingredients—Moutan Cortex (Danpi) and Gardenia Fruit (Zhizi). It is primarily used to treat symptoms such as distending pain in the chest and hypochondrium, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, menstrual irregularities, and a sensation of heaviness or distension in the lower abdomen, all resulting from liver qi stagnation combined with blood deficiency and disharmony between the liver and spleen. Patients should consult a physician before taking this medication.
