Can Atractylodes Poria help with digestion

If the indigestion is caused by weak spleen and stomach and heavy dampness, Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria can help digestion, and need to follow the doctor’s instructions to use the medicine. Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria belong to Chinese medicine, both have the effect of benefiting qi and strengthening the spleen (regulating the qi of the spleen and stomach). If the spleen and stomach are weak due to dietary disorders, emotional disorders, etc., and there are symptoms such as indigestion, abdominal distension, yellowish color (yellowish and lack of luster), depression, weakness, sleepiness, and reduced intake of food, then Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria may be used as a treatment. Poria also has the effect of inducing diuresis and seepage of dampness (promoting the operation of water to dispel dampness), which can also play a certain therapeutic effect on dyspepsia caused by the prolonged weakness of the spleen and stomach, and the internal stagnation of water-dampness (water-dampness stays in the body). However, for indigestion caused by other factors, such as dietary stagnation, the above two drugs are not recommended. Atractylodes should not be used if there is deficiency of Yin, internal heat or depletion of fluid; Poria should not be used if there is deficiency of cold and essence, or if there is deficiency of Yin without water-dampness. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, if you need to use drugs, it is recommended to consult a professional physician or pharmacist, do not blindly use drugs on your own.
