Patient's question:
My spleen and stomach have never been very good, and they've gotten worse recently. I'd like to try some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate them. How effective are over-the-counter herbal remedies for maintaining spleen and stomach health?Doctor's answer:
Recurring stomach and spleen disharmony can generally be treated with oral traditional Chinese medicine. In most cases, it is related to spleen deficiency and stomach weakness. It is necessary to conduct a thorough examination to determine if there is gastritis or symptoms of stomach cold or stomach heat. Generally, oral preparations such as Ginseng Jianpi Wan and Xiang Sha Yang Wei Wan can be helpful. Medications should be chosen based on the specific condition. At the same time, it is essential to avoid greasy and spicy, extremely cold foods.
