Xiaoer Xiaoji Tongbian Fang

Xiaoer Xiaoji Tongbian Fang is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formula specifically developed for the treatment of pediatric functional constipation and food accumulation syndrome (Ji Zhi). The formula typically comprises a synergistic blend of botanical ingredients, including *Rheum palmatum* (Da Huang), *Magnolia officinalis* (Hou Po), *Citrus aurantium* (Zhi Shi), and *Crataegus pinnatifida* (Shan Zha). Its therapeutic mechanism involves promoting gastrointestinal motility, resolving food stagnation, and modulating the intestinal microbiota to facilitate regular bowel movements. It is frequently utilized in clinical pediatric practice in China, often as a hospital preparation, to alleviate symptoms such as abdominal distension, hard stools, and anorexia. Clinical research, including randomized controlled trials registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, has evaluated its efficacy and safety profile in children compared to conventional osmotic laxatives.
