Chinese Medicine can Help you Beat the Bloat this Holiday Season – Best Chinese Medicines

The holidays are approaching fast and that means lots of fun, lots of memories and lots of food. As always, the consumption of large amounts of food always has a chance of producing digestive distress. This can range from just feeling bloated to nausea or even diarrhea.

Luckily, there are three formulas of Chinese herbal medicine that can help soothe these symptoms and leave you with more time to enjoy the holiday season.

Bao He Wan is a classical Chinese formula used most commonly to alleviate problems associated with acute food stagnation, which simply put is the accumulation of too much food in the digestive system – to the point that it cannot all be digested effectively. Acute food stagnation is what often happens after a huge holiday meal. You feel bloated and distended from overeating. Bao He Wan helps to shorten that period during which you might feel uncomfortably full. Please note that the chief Herb in this formula shanja stimulates blood circulation. Therefore Bao He Wan should be used with caution during pregnancy.

The next Formula comes in the form of curing pills. Take them at the first sign of anything funky whether that be a little indigestion or acid reflux, bloating, rumbling in the stomach or intestines. In terms of Chinese medicine, curing pills dispel food stagnation, harmonize the stomach, dispel dampness and pathogenic factors, and relieve pain.

The plum flower variation of this formula comprises 15 herbs, which combine synergistically to accomplish these ends.

Our final formula is the Pa Chai. The effects of Pa Chai pills are similar to those of curing pills. In addition to alleviating all sorts of symptoms associated with digestive distress, they are also helpful for motion sickness, jet lag, and can even be used as a hangover cure. The herbs in Pa Chai pills are similar to those found in curing pills, working to harmonize digestion and to clear heat toxins and phlegm accumulation from the body.

Using these three formulas, you can spend less time worrying about digestive symptoms and more time enjoying your holidays with your loved ones. A warm happy holidays from Best Chinese Medicines.
