Patient's question:
Sometimes acid reflux is accompanied by vomiting, belching, and stomach pain. The stool is semi-liquid and semi-formed, very smelly, and the mouth feels bitter with cold hands and feet.Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic superficial gastritis is a type of long-term stomach condition primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to symptoms such as stomach pain, acid reflux, and belching. Generally, it is difficult to cure with conventional medications. If not treated promptly and correctly, the condition may progressively worsen.Western medicine mainly neutralizes stomach acid, providing temporary relief of symptoms. Stomach acid is an essential digestive fluid, and when neutralized, it can trigger increased secretion. The hydrochloric acid in stomach acid is a strong acid with high corrosivity. Therefore, long-term use of Western medicine can lead to excessive stomach acid production, further damaging the stomach lining and causing the condition to persist or worsen over time.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. I recommend using a combination of traditional Chinese herbs such as:
Black sulfur, black jujube, walnut kernels, gardenia, angelica sinensis, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin scales, bupleurum, wheat sprouts, upper and lower animal bones, safflower, Agarwood, iron gall powder, propolis, honey, and beeswax.
When used together, these herbs can thoroughly eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, enhance gastrointestinal function, promote peristalsis, rapidly repair the stomach and intestinal lining, and clear out turbid qi from the digestive tract. This approach can completely cure chronic superficial gastritis and prevent recurrence.
