Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Hawthorn Six-Herb Paste is traditionally taken after meals to support digestion and ease occasional heaviness in the Stomach. Hawthorn (Shan Zha) has long been used in TCM food culture to promote the movement of food and qi in the digestive tract, while Jinei Jin (Chicken Gizzard Lining) is traditionally paired with it to support the Stomach and Spleen. This paste is often enjoyed as a daily herbal food, taken directly by spoon or dissolved in warm water, and is a common household remedy in Chinese families for supporting children's digestion and appetite during times of dietary change.
