Xiangsha Yangwei Pills (Soup) are recorded in many medical books. Although the names are the same, the medicinal compositions are not exactly the same and the functions also have their own characteristics. For example, the recipe of Xiangsha Yangwei Decoction recorded by Ming Dynasty physician Zhang Shiche in his "Many Wonderful Prescriptions for Health Preservation" is: 10 Chinese medicinal herbs: Amomum villosum, Cyperus rotundus, dried tangerine peel, Poria cocos, Magnolia officinalis, Licorice, Pinellia ternata, Patchouli, Citrus aurantium, and Atractylodes lancea. Its main function is to regulate Qi and harmonize the stomach. It is used to treat abdominal distension and loss of appetite caused by disharmony between the spleen and stomach. Later, Wu Zhiwang's recipe for Xiangsha Yangwei Decoction in Jiyin Gangmu included 12 Chinese medicinal herbs: Amomum villosum, ginseng, Cyperus rotundus, Atractylodes macrocephala, tangerine peel, Poria cocos, Magnolia officinalis, licorice, Pinellia ternata, Patchouli, Areca catechu, and Amomum villosum. Judging from the increase and decrease of the drug, its anti-nausea and anti-inflation effect is stronger. The formula of Xiangsha Yangwei Pills recorded by Nian Xiyao in "Collected Effective Prescriptions" in the Qing Dynasty includes 13 Chinese medicinal herbs: costus root, amomum villosum, ginseng, cyperus rotundus, atractylodes macrocephala, tangerine peel, poria, magnolia bark, licorice, white cardamom, dried ginger, cinnamon, and atractylodes. In addition to strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, it focuses on treating warming the stomach and drying dampness, and is more suitable for those with severe stomach cold and dampness. In addition, there are records about Xiangsha Yangwei Pills (Soup) in "Selections of Medical Prescriptions of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu", "Complete Collection of Medical Rules and Regulations", and "Compendium of Chinese Medicine Formulas".

The drug composition of the currently commonly used Chinese patent medicine Xiangsha Yangwei Pills (Volume 1 of the 2005 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, National Medicine Standard Z62021174) is based on the Xiangsha Yangwei Decoction in "Xizhuo of the Origin of Miscellaneous Diseases" by Shen Jinao in the Qing Dynasty. It consists of 14 Chinese medicinal herbs: costus root, amomum villosum, atractylodes macrocephala, tangerine peel, poria, pinellia, cyperus rotundus, immature bitter orange, cardamom, magnolia bark, patchouli, licorice, ginger, and jujube. This recipe is based on "Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (costus root, amomum villosum, ginseng, white atractylodes, poria, licorice, tangerine peel, pinellia)", minus ginseng and adding cyperus rotundus, immature bitter orange, cardamom, patchouli, magnolia bark, ginger, jujube, etc., making the original recipe more effective in invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, regulating qi and resolving phlegm, and also enhancing the effects of promoting qi, warming the middle, and removing dampness. It is warmer in nature than Xiangsha Liujun Pills and is suitable for epigastric distension and pain caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, qi stagnation and dampness, and inability of the spleen and stomach to transport and transform. Symptoms include dull stomachache, abdominal distension, vomiting of acid water, noisy and uncomfortable, loss of appetite, fatigue in the limbs, shortness of breath, sallow complexion, intestinal rumbling and loose stools, etc. It is particularly suitable for treating diarrhea caused by dampness blocking the spleen and stomach due to poor circulation of Qi in the middle part of the body, such as fullness and stuffiness in the stomach or vomiting of acid water, loose stools, intestinal rumbling, fatigue and weakness. Modern pharmacological research shows that Xiangsha Yangwei Pills have a good bidirectional regulatory effect on gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and can adjust the secretion of digestive juices in the digestive tract and adjust gastrointestinal function; it has a significant inhibitory effect on the formation of gastric ulcers and can reduce the incidence of ulcers; it has a strong antibacterial effect; Xiangsha Yangwei Pills have a choleretic effect, can increase the secretion of bile, relax the sphincter of Oddi, and reduce the pressure of the gallbladder. Therefore, Xiangsha Yangwei Pills are now clinically used to treat a variety of digestive system diseases, such as acute and chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, senile intestinal dysfunction and gastric neurosis, stomach pain, vomiting, poor appetite after subtotal gastrectomy, etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is located in the middle burner and is responsible for transportation and transformation, raising the clear and lowering the turbid. If the spleen is insufficient, it will lead to the spleen's inability to function properly, and the lack of power in transportation and transformation. The transportation and distribution of water will be abnormal, and the clear will not rise, and the turbid will not fall, and they will be retained in the chest and diaphragm, gathering into phlegm, and blocking the lung qi, which will cause coughing and sputum. Therefore, Chinese medicine has the saying that "the spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lungs are the container of phlegm." Since Xiangsha Yangwei Pills can strengthen the spleen, regulate qi and eliminate dampness, if you usually cough with a lot of phlegm, and taking expectorant and cough-relieving drugs is not effective, and the cough is characterized by a lot of phlegm, which is easy to cough up, with clear and white phlegm, and accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and weakness in the limbs, shortness of breath and laziness to speak, you can take Xiangsha Yangwei Pills, which will achieve unexpected results. Many experienced doctors, in clinical treatment, add oral Xiangsha Yangwei Pills to conventional anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments for respiratory tract infections caused by spleen deficiency. This not only significantly improves the treatment effect, but also promotes the body's recovery. This treatment method is called "replenishing the mother when deficient" in the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is also known as "replenishing earth (spleen) to produce gold (lungs)".

The dosage of Xiangsha Yangwei Pills is generally 9 grams at a time, twice a day. It is best to take it with warm water. When nausea and vomiting of acid are caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, it can be taken with ginger soup, which can enhance the effect of relieving nausea and stopping vomiting. Do not eat raw or cold food while taking medicine, because raw and cold food can aggravate cold and dampness, which is not conducive to the efficacy of the medicine. At the same time, the medicine is aromatic, warm and dry. If you experience symptoms of heat such as stomach burning, dull pain, dry mouth and tongue due to stomach yin deficiency, you should not take this medicine.
