Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 25 years old. Since I had acute gastritis at the age of 12, pressing on my stomach has always caused pain. For over a decade, it hasn't improved. It hurts when I eat too much, and it also hurts when I am hungry. I often feel heartburn as well. Is my stomach condition serious, and should I get a gastroscopy?Doctor's answer:
The condition you described is chronic gastritis, primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to stomach pain and heartburn. Generally, conventional medications struggle to provide a complete cure, and standard treatment methods can only alleviate symptoms without addressing the root cause. Through long-term clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods.I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as:
Black sulfur (Hei Fan), black jujube (Hei Zao), walnut kernels (Hei Tao Ren), gardenia (Zhi Zi), Poria (Fu Ling), cardamom (Sha Ren), magnolia bark (Hou Pu), Tribulus terrestris (San Ling), pangolin scales (Chuan Shan Jia), Gentiana scabra (Cun Qu), malt (Mai Ya), upper tiger bone (Shang Jia), lower tiger bone (Xia Jia), safflower (Hong Hua), iron gall powder (Chen Tan), propolis (Feng Jiao), honey (Feng Mi), and beeswax (Feng La).
When used in combination, these herbs can effectively eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, regulate spleen and stomach function, and promote rapid self-healing without recurrence.
