Qi deficiency of the spleen can be treated with Jianpi Pills. Jianpi Pills are mainly composed of traditional Chinese herbs such as Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Tangerine peel, Hawthorn, and Barley malt. Their function is to strengthen the spleen, stimulate the appetite, and promote digestion. They are primarily used for symptoms of spleen deficiency, such as weakness of the spleen and stomach and recurrent abdominal distension. While taking the medication, it is best to avoid cold and greasy foods, as well as spicy and irritating foods. Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid staying up late.
