Dr. Shen Yonghua
Amomi Fructus Rotundus is warm in nature and pungent in taste, entering the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. Its main functions include resolving dampness, regulating qi, warming the spleen and stimulating appetite, regulating qi to stabilize pregnancy, promoting digestion, and invigorating qi to nourish the blood.
Amomi Fructus Rotundus has significant regulatory effects on the digestive system. It can promote gastric juice secretion and enhance gastrointestinal motility, thereby improving symptoms such as poor appetite and indigestion. It is especially suitable for conditions like abdominal distension and vomiting caused by cold deficiency of the spleen and stomach. In addition, Amomi Fructus Rotundus also has certain anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, helping to alleviate gastrointestinal inflammation and protect the gastric mucosa.
Pregnant women should use Amomi Fructus Rotundus under the guidance of a physician to avoid excessive use. Attention should also be paid to using the appropriate dosage and following medical advice to prevent adverse reactions.
