Stomach harmonization

"Stomach harmonization" refers to the principle in traditional Chinese medicine of restoring the functional balance of the stomach, particularly its digestive and motility roles, using specific herbal formulations. These formulas, such as Jia Jian Bao He Wan and Ban Xia Xie Xin Tang, are composed of multiple herbs aimed at relieving symptoms like reflux, bloating, indigestion, and gastritis by promoting what TCM terms the 'descending function' of the stomach and the 'digestive function' of the spleen[1][5]. The underlying mechanism does not correspond to a defined molecular entity and is conceptual rather than biological, with no direct counterpart in modern pharmacology. There is no standard abbreviation or recognized protein, gene, or receptor associated with "stomach harmonization". This term should not be used as a molecular target or pharmacological target in biomedical research.
