Gastric Soothing Granules are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for treating gastric diseases, with functions of regulating qi to relieve distension and harmonizing the stomach to alleviate pain.

Its main ingredients include multiple medicinal herbs such as Perilla stem, Nutgrass Galingale Rhizome (Cyperus rotundus), Tangerine Peel, Citron, and Fingered Citrus. Perilla stem regulates qi, widens the middle jiao, relieves pain, and stabilizes pregnancy; Nutgrass Galingale Rhizome soothes the liver, regulates qi, regulates menstruation, and relieves pain; Tangerine Peel regulates qi, strengthens the spleen, dries dampness, and resolves phlegm; Citron and Fingered Citrus both soothe the liver and regulate qi, harmonize the middle jiao, and resolve phlegm. These ingredients work synergistically to address various gastric discomforts.

Clinically, Gastric Soothing Granules are particularly effective for epigastric pain caused by qi stagnation. Patients commonly experience distending and painful sensations in the epigastrium, with pain locations that are not fixed, possibly accompanied by chest tightness, discomfort, belching, and other symptoms. This formula can effectively relieve gastric distension, reduce pain, regulate gastrointestinal motility, promote digestion, and improve symptoms such as indigestion and loss of appetite caused by qi stagnation. By regulating qi circulation, it restores the normal transforming and transporting functions of the spleen and stomach, thereby addressing the root cause of gastric discomfort and supporting gastric health.

Patients should use this medication under the guidance of a physician and should not take it arbitrarily. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital promptly and follow medical advice for appropriate management.
