Bao He Wan (200 Pills, 0.169g each) – Traditional Chinese Medicine for Stomach Ailments

Bao He Wan, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, was first documented in 1347 by Zhu Zhenheng in his treatise “Professional Secrets of Danxi.” This 200-pill bottle (0.169g each) addresses various Full Stomach Syndromes characterized by epigastric pain, nausea, and a thick tongue coating. Specific applications include:

• Food Stagnation: Symptoms include a strong feeling of fullness and distension in the epigastrium and abdomen, worsened by eating; sour or foul-smelling belching; unpleasant breath; and potentially vomiting and foul-smelling flatulence.
• Cold Invasion of the Stomach: Characterized by sudden, sharp epigastric pain, possibly accompanied by vomiting water and a feeling of coldness.
• Stomach Heat: Manifests as burning epigastric pain, constant hunger, dry mouth with bitterness, and persistent thirst, especially for cold drinks.

Bao He Wan is also used to treat hiccups (attributed to upward Qi rebellion in TCM) and sour taste in the mouth (linked to Dampness retention in the Spleen and Stomach). Bao He Wan offers a time-tested approach to managing common stomach discomforts based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
