　　 　　Spleen-Nourishing Powder: A well-known traditional Chinese patent medicine—Yongchun Shen Gui Spleen-Nourishing Powder has been popular both domestically and internationally, as well as across Southeast Asia, in recent years. Originally named "Yuanhe Hall" Spleen-Nourishing Powder, it was developed over a hundred years ago during the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty by the renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Li Qixuan from Dapu, Yongchun. The Li Qixuan family has practiced medicine for seven generations, accumulating rich clinical experience. He not only faithfully inherited ancestral medical techniques but also further researched and developed them. By middle age, he had created more than ten types of internal medicinal powders, including Spleen-Nourishing Powder, Stomach-Ling Powder, Malnutrition Powder, and Mass-Reducing Powder, all of which proved highly effective. In particular, Shen Gui Spleen-Nourishing Powder strengthens the spleen and stomach, eliminates food stagnation, relieves vomiting, removes dampness and promotes urination, and stimulates appetite. It is effective against limb edema, jaundice, weak spleen and stomach, and poor appetite. Before liberation, Yuanhe Hall produced the medicine on a small scale with limited output. After liberation, Yongchun County Pharmaceutical Company established a dedicated pharmaceutical factory to mass-produce it according to the traditional formula, meeting the needs of people across various regions.
