Features: Upper abdominal pain is a very common symptom and can be seen in a variety of diseases. Among the diseases that manifest as upper abdominal pain, some are severe and even life-threatening, such as acute hepatitis, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gallstones; others are relatively mild, such as chronic hepatitis, chronic cholecystitis, gastritis, and gastrointestinal neurofunctional disorders. In addition to the upper abdominal pain caused by a few critical emergencies, upper abdominal pain caused by factors such as cold exposure, chronic hepatitis, chronic cholecystitis, and gallstones can be effectively treated at home with simple therapies, yielding relatively satisfactory results. As the saying goes, "Peace and prosperity are true wealth, and health is the most important matter." This book compiles various effective methods for treating upper abdominal pain from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, as means for patients to self-treat. It is bound to produce unexpected effects. Of course, the diagnosis and guidance of professional physicians are also essential. If the self-treatment methods introduced in this book are used in conjunction with professional medical treatment, the results will be twice as effective with half the effort.
