Patient's question:
My liver and stomach problems have lasted for over ten years. I've taken many medications, but they haven't helped. I feel weak all over, lose my appetite for dinner, and sometimes get a bit dizzy. How can I regulate this?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic and stomach disharmony generally manifests as distending, stuffy, and painful sensations in the upper abdomen and hypochondria, poor appetite, belching, stomach discomfort with acid regurgitation, irritability and easily angered, general fatigue, a red tongue with thin yellow coating, and a wiry and rapid pulse. In daily diet, it is advisable to eat small meals frequently and avoid overly greasy or rich foods to prevent them from burdening the spleen and obstructing Qi flow. Additionally, herbal medicine can be combined with Xiaoyao Pills to regulate the liver and strengthen the spleen. For patients with stomach disorders, while seeking symptomatic treatment, dietary therapy can be used as a complementary approach. In daily eating habits, it is crucial to avoid both extreme hunger and overeating, and never indulge in binge eating.
