Xiang Fu is a highly valued traditional Chinese medicine with many medicinal benefits. It not only has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties but also helps to promote appetite. It is particularly suitable for people with qi deficiency and blood heat. Let's now explore the efficacy and functions of Xiang Fu!
1. Appetite stimulation
Xiang Fu can stimulate appetite in people who have poor appetite. It emits a distinct fragrance which many people find pleasing. Poor appetite can be caused by various factors, and Xiang Fu can help by increasing the secretion of digestive fluids and gastric acid, promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis. In cases of chest discomfort, one can also inhale the fragrance of Xiang Fu. It can also be used to treat persistent vomiting caused by alcohol intoxication.
2. Regulating Qi and relieving depression
Xiang Fu helps to regulate Qi and relieve depression. It can be used to alleviate liver Qi stagnation, which is often the cause of stomach bloating in most people.
Consuming Xiang Fu can relieve symptoms of stomach bloating and help expel gas from the stomach, reducing the production of gas caused by the reaction between gastric acid and hydrochloric acid.
3. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
Xiang Fu can relieve foot swelling caused by inflammation, especially during the summer when inflammation is more likely to occur. Inflammation can cause swelling in various parts of the body, and bacteria and fungi can also cause adverse reactions and symptoms.
Xiang Fu can inhibit the growth and spread of various bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Shigella, thereby enhancing the body's antibacterial ability and resistance to disease.
