Combined with Radix Lepidopteris and Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori, it can strengthen the function of eliminating food and resolving stagnation (digesting stagnant food). Hawthorn is also used to move qi and eliminate stagnation by combining with Muxiang and Qingpi to treat distension and pain in the epigastrium (abdomen) caused by stagnation, such as Unqi San. Hawthorn is sour, sweet and slightly warm. It belongs to spleen, stomach and liver meridians. It has the function of eliminating food and strengthening stomach (promoting food digestion and strengthening the function of stomach and internal organs), promoting qi circulation and dispersing blood stasis, resolving turbidity and lowering fat (clearing the body’s dirty and turbid substances and reducing the excess fat in the body). For symptoms such as distention and fullness in the epigastrium caused by stagnation of meat and food, belching (hiccup), acid swallowing (swallowing the acid in the stomach that goes up to the oropharynx), and abdominal pain and loose stools (thin and unshaped feces), Hawthorn can be used alone in a decoction; for the food stagnation caused by over-eating of rice and noodles, it can be combined with malt, Shenquan, and Laihuo Zi to strengthen the efficacy of eliminating food and resolving the stagnation of food.
