Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan is commonly used to treat constipation. This formula helps replenish qi, generate vital energy, and regulate and strengthen the spleen and stomach. When deficiency of spleen and stomach qi occurs, it may lead to secondary symptoms; under a physician’s guidance, taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan can help regulate spleen and stomach function and alleviate the condition. During treatment, a light and bland diet is recommended.
