How It Works (Traditional Perspective)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, symptoms such as nausea, acid reflux, vomiting, or headaches may occur when cold weakens the Stomach and Liver, causing Qi to move upward instead of downward.
 
Wu Zhu Yu Tang works by:
Warming the Stomach and Liver
Redirecting rebellious Qi downward
Relieving nausea and vomiting
Supporting healthy digestion
Improving circulation in the digestive system
 
By restoring warmth and the proper direction of Qi, the formula helps reduce digestive discomfort and promotes balanced gastrointestinal function.
