Dr. Zhang Xiuhong

Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills have various functions and effects, including relieving superficies conditions and eliminating dampness, regulating qi and harmonizing the middle jiao, alleviating vomiting and diarrhea, modulating intestinal flora, and enhancing immunity.

1. Relieving superficies conditions and eliminating dampness: Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills have a pungent-warm and dispersing nature, which can expel wind-cold-damp pathogens from the body. Through their dampness-transforming action, these pills help eliminate excessive dampness and relieve symptoms caused by dampness accumulation.

2. Regulating qi and harmonizing the middle jiao: This medication effectively regulates qi circulation within the body, alleviating digestive discomforts such as chest and diaphragm fullness, epigastric distention and pain, and poor appetite caused by impaired qi flow or dysfunction of the spleen and stomach.

3. Alleviating vomiting and diarrhea: Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills are effective in treating symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea caused by internal accumulation of cold-dampness and disharmony of the spleen and stomach. They can relieve nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

4. Modulating intestinal flora: The ingredients in Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills help balance the intestinal microbiota by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the proliferation of harmful bacteria, thus improving the intestinal microenvironment and supporting gastrointestinal health.

5. Enhancing immunity: The multiple active components contained in Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills can boost the body's immune system and strengthen its defense against various diseases.

During the course of treatment, a bland diet should be maintained. Smoking, alcohol consumption, and spicy, raw, cold, or greasy foods should be avoided, as they may interfere with the efficacy of the medication.
