Ledebouriella, commonly referred to as Ledebouriella divaricata or "Fang Feng" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is not widely documented as a primary remedy for dyspepsia (indigestion). In TCM, Fang Feng is traditionally used to "expel wind," alleviate pain, and treat conditions such as headaches, rheumatism, and colds. Its classical indications are more closely related to musculoskeletal and dermatologic conditions as well as certain external pathogenic factors rather than direct support of digestive complaints like dyspepsia.

However, some TCM formulations containing Ledebouriella may be employed in broader formulas intended to harmonize the digestive system, particularly when symptoms are thought to be related to disruptions caused by "wind" or imbalances between the liver and spleen. Despite this, direct traditional documentation supporting Ledebouriella as a standalone treatment for dyspepsia is limited.

There is currently no robust scientific evidence from clinical trials or phytochemical studies supporting the efficacy of Ledebouriella for dyspepsia. Most references to its use in this context stem from historical or anecdotal TCM sources, not from modern pharmacological research. Thus, its use for dyspepsia can be considered as having weak traditional support and negligible scientific validation.
