IBS and Shenqi Changtai Mixture

From the perspective of Western medicine, the efficacy of Shenqi Changtai Mixture and its working mechanism are as follows:

Firstly, red ginseng in its composition contains various active ingredients such as ginsenosides, which have certain functions of regulating the immune system, enhancing physical endurance and anti-fatigue. This may help improve the body's overall resistance and indirectly improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos have the function of regulating gastrointestinal motility. They may regulate the frequency and intensity of gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction and relaxation to regulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, thereby improving digestive function and relieving symptoms such as abdominal distension.

The bifidobacteria in the bifidobacteria culture fluid are a kind of beneficial bacteria that can colonize in the intestinal tract and participate in the balance regulation of the intestinal microecology. They can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, enhance the intestinal barrier function, and promote the absorption of nutrients.

Licorice has anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating effects, which can reduce inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract and protect the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Comprehensively, Shenqi Changtai Mixture may achieve the efficacy of replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen, promoting digestion and regulating the stomach through the synergistic effect of multiple components, regulating gastrointestinal motility, improving intestinal flora balance, and reducing inflammatory reactions, thereby relieving the related symptoms caused by qi deficiency of the spleen and stomach.

For example, for patients with long-term indigestion and loss of appetite, this drug may regulate gastrointestinal motility, increase the secretion of digestive enzymes, and promote the digestion and absorption of food, so that the patient's appetite can be improved and the digestive function can gradually return to normal.

However, it should be noted that further scientific research and clinical trials are needed to further clarify the specific mechanism of action of the drug.
