(3) By analyzing the extracts, ingredients, and formulas, providing inspiration and a basis for the development and utilization of medicine and food homologous products.

Abstract

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are a group of digestive disorders affecting nearly 40% of the global population. In recent years, studies have demonstrated the significant therapeutic effects of a wealth of herbal medicines and their bioactive components in the treatment of FGIDs. Notably, among these herbal preparations, food and medicine homology (FMH) plants account for a significant portion. This review focuses on the use of FMH plants and FMH-containing formulas for the treatment of FGIDs, provides an overview of their pharmacological effects, and analyzes the modeling and efficacy of those formulas, FMH extracts, and corresponding components in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. This review aims to serve as a reference for the research and application of FMH used to treat FGIDs.

Graphical Abstract

Food and medicine homologous materials have potential advantages in the treatment of chronic diseases such as functional gastrointestinal disorders. Many clinical reports show that traditional Chinese herbs have certain therapeutic effects, laying a foundation for the development of new products.
