Q3. What is the mechanism of action of Shenling Baizhu Granules in treating pediatric diseases (TCM)?

According to TCM theories, the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution. Children have tender organs and are prone to “spleen deficiency”, which means that most children’s gastrointestinal digestion and absorption functions are relatively weak. In addition, children have no self-control on their diet, have an excessive diet due to parental spoils, or damage their spleen and stomach and have indigestion because of eating too much fat, sweet, uncooked and cold food or indigestible food. In these cases, children develop such symptoms as anorexia, diarrhea and abdominal distension due to weakened spleen and stomach functions. Therefore, the basic pathogenesis of children anorexia is weak spleen and stomach, which should be treated by strengthening the spleen-qi.
