Introduction
The yellow lining of a chicken's stomach is known in medicine as "Fructus Galli Gigeriae" or "Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli" (commonly called "Chicken Internal Gold"). As a traditional Chinese medicinal ingredient, Chicken Internal Gold has functions of strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion, consolidating essence, relieving urinary obstruction and dissolving calculi, and treating enuresis. It may stimulate the stomach and pancreas to secrete digestive fluids—including gastric acid, pancreatic juice, and bile—thereby aiding food digestion, accelerating the breakdown and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract, and also helping prevent constipation.

The yellow inner lining of a chicken's gizzard is known in medicine as "Chicken Gizzard Lining" (Fructus Galli Gigeria). As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Chicken Gizzard Lining has the effects of strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion, consolidating essence, promoting urination and dissolving calculi, and stopping enuresis. Specific functions are analyzed as follows:

1. Strengthening the Stomach and Promoting Digestion

Chicken Gizzard Lining may stimulate the stomach and pancreas to secrete digestive fluids, including gastric acid, pancreatic juice, and bile, thereby aiding food digestion. It helps accelerate the breakdown and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract and may also help prevent constipation.

2. Consolidating Essence

Due to its astringent properties, Chicken Gizzard Lining can help control semen loss, alleviate excessive ejaculation or premature ejaculation, nourish kidney yang, enhance kidney function, and improve sexual performance.

3. Promoting Urination and Dissolving Calculi

Chicken Gizzard Lining has diuretic effects that increase urine excretion, helping flush the urinary tract and reduce the concentration of dissolved substances in urine, thus preventing stone formation. It also promotes urine flow and helps relieve pain and discomfort associated with urinary stones.

4. Stopping Enuresis

Chicken Gizzard Lining is also used to help manage enuresis, especially in children and the elderly. It may play a role in regulating the function of the urinary sphincter.

Chicken Gizzard Lining should be used under medical supervision to avoid self-medication that could lead to adverse effects. If any discomfort occurs, immediate medical attention is recommended.
