Product Information
Xiang Sha Ping Wei San is a classic Chinese Medicine formula traditionally used to support digestive comfort. It is commonly applied in situations where the body struggles to process food efficiently, leading to sensations such as bloating, gas, abdominal fullness, pressure, or drowsiness that interfere with well-being.
The formula brings together herbs that work synergistically to promote the smooth movement of digestive Qi. By helping regulate the digestive process, Xiang Sha Ping Wei San supports a greater ease after meals.
While some herbs focus on relieving fullness and stagnation, others help maintain digestive balance and comfort over time, making the formula suitable not only for occasional discomfort but also for recurrent patterns of digestive heaviness.
Traditionally, Xiang Sha Ping Wei San is used for supporting the digestive system when meals feel difficult to digest, the abdomen feels weighed down, or comfort after eating becomes compromised.
Xiang Sha Ping Wei San brings together herbs that work in a complementary way to support digestion, relieve the feeling of heaviness after meals, and promote a more harmonious digestive flow.

Xiang Sha Ping Wei San is an evolution of the classic formula Ping Wei San, first recorded during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD). It was traditionally used to support digestion in situations involving a feeling of heaviness and food stagnation.
Over time, the formula was refined with the addition of herbs that promote digestive flow and help transform food, expanding its use to discomforts such as bloating, nausea, and slow digestion.
This enhanced version appears in later Traditional Chinese Medicine texts and is associated with the medical tradition of the Qing Dynasty, particularly in works such as the Yi Zong Jin Jian (Golden Mirror of Medical Tradition).
To this day, Xiang Sha Ping Wei San remains one of the most widely used formulas to support digestive health, especially in cases of abdominal fullness and post-meal discomfort.
