The Efficacy and Function of Qi Stagnation Stomach Pain Granules

Qi Zhi Wei Tong Granules are mainly composed of traditional Chinese herbs such as Bupleurum (Chai Hu), White Peony Root (Bai Shao), Corydalis (Yan Hu Suo), Honey-fried Licorice Root (Zhi Gan Cao), and Tangerine Peel (Zhi Ke). They are commonly used traditional Chinese medicine preparations for treating stomach pain caused by liver qi stagnation. Their therapeutic effects and functions are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Harmonizing the stomach and relieving pain: Qi Zhi Wei Tong Granules can regulate liver qi as well as the movement of spleen qi. Additionally, they help alleviate pain and can improve symptoms such as stomach pain and abdominal distension.

2. Soothing the liver and regulating qi: By relieving stagnation of liver qi and adjusting the body's overall flow of qi, these granules help alleviate stomach discomfort caused by emotional distress or excessive stress.

3. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects: Some ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammatory responses in the stomach and simultaneously relieve pain.

4. Regulating digestive function: They enhance gastrointestinal motility and promote the secretion of digestive fluids, aiding in digestion and absorption of food and improving symptoms of indigestion.

5. Psychological adjustment: By regulating the neuroendocrine system, these granules help alleviate emotional issues such as anxiety and depression, thereby indirectly improving gastric symptoms.
