Ping Wei San is recommended for people with nausea, indigestion, and acid reflux.

Ping Wei San translates as Calm the Stomach Powder is an almost 1000 year old formula from the Song Dynasty that effectively treats all manner of digestive disorders. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, an agitated stomach leads to the gathering of sticky fluids that causes nausea and indigestion. This stagnant fluid may rise as acid reflux or stay stagnant, causing bloating and a poor appetite. When the stomach is calm, however, the digestion is balanced.
