In general, Xiangsha Liu Jun Wan can be taken for deficiency of yang in the spleen and kidneys. Xiangsha Liu Jun Wan is commonly used to treat indigestion, poor appetite, abdominal distension, belching, and loose stools caused by spleen deficiency with qi stagnation or insufficient spleen yang. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion, tonifying the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, and reducing upward counterflow to stop vomiting. However, Xiangsha Liu Jun Wan usually has no therapeutic effect on symptoms of kidney yang deficiency.
