Shenling Jianpi Wei Granules are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine, whose functions and effects are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi: Ginseng and Atractylodes are effective herbs for replenishing qi, capable of enhancing spleen and stomach functions and improving the body's digestive and absorptive capacity. They are effective in alleviating symptoms such as spleen and stomach weakness, poor appetite, physical fatigue, and weakness.

2. Resolving dampness and stopping diarrhea: Poria and Tangerine Peel have functions of promoting diuresis and resolving dampness, which can alleviate symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal distension caused by internal accumulation of damp-heat. Additionally, Poria can calm the mind and help improve sleep quality affected by spleen and stomach weakness.

3. Nourishing and protecting the stomach and intestines: Yam, rich in mucilage, can protect the gastrointestinal mucosa, reduce damage caused by irritating foods, and serve as an auxiliary treatment for conditions such as gastritis and gastric ulcers.

4. Regulating immunity: Ginseng can enhance the body's immune system and strengthen resistance to diseases, thereby helping prevent colds and improve overall health.

During use, however, excessive or long-term administration should be avoided to prevent adverse reactions.
