Relieves abdominal pain linked to worms or food accumulation - it is chosen when digestive stagnation and cramping sit alongside evidence of parasites.
Supports pediatric accumulation patterns - traditional use often centers on children with sallow complexion, emaciation, or recurrent digestive complaints tied to parasites.

Kai Bao Ben Cao and later materia medica texts present Shi Jun Zi as a sweet warm fruit that kills parasites while remaining especially suitable for children.
