Herbal Medicine  for Removing Food Stagnation

Herbs tending to promote digestion and remove food stagnation as their main effects are called herbal medicine for
removing food stagnation.

Herbs of this type are mainly used to treat indigestion caused by eating too much or poor digestion, which is manifested
as distention and fullness in the stomach and abdomen, anoresia, nausea, vomiting, irregular bowel movement and other
symptoms.

These herbs should be used in combination with drugs for promoting Qi circulation to treat food retention, indigestion
and Qi stagnation; with herbs for removing dampness to treat excessive dampness; with herbs for purgation to treat
constipation; and with herbs for supplementing Qi and strengthening the spleen to treat anorexia due to weakness of the
spleen and stomach. (Aidus & E-fong Herbal Solution)
