Tongfu Yiqi Tang

Tongfu Yiqi Tang is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) decoction primarily utilized for treating gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients with sepsis. The formula is designed according to the TCM principles of "Tongfu" (unblocking the bowels) and "Yiqi" (supplementing Qi), aiming to restore gastrointestinal motility and modulate the systemic inflammatory response. It typically comprises a combination of herbal ingredients, including *Rheum palmatum* (Da Huang), *Astragalus membranaceus* (Huang Qi), *Magnolia officinalis* (Hou Po), and *Citrus aurantium* (Zhi Shi). In clinical practice, particularly within critical care settings, it is often administered via enema to reduce intra-abdominal pressure and improve intestinal barrier function. Clinical studies, such as those conducted at Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province, have explored its efficacy when used in conjunction with electroacupuncture.
