Patient's question:
Upper abdomen has been bloated for over 20 days, no dry vomiting, occasional acid reflux, no other symptoms. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as mild chronic superficial gastritis. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that chronic superficial gastritis falls within the category of "old stomach diseases." Your condition is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to the inability of clear Qi to ascend and the inability of turbid Qi to rise, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal pain, acid reflux, and hunger. TCM and Chinese herbal medicine have accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. It is recommended that you use traditional Chinese herbs such as Hei Fan (Chinese Iron Ore), Hei Zao (Black Jujube), He Tao Ren (Walnut Kernel), Zhi Zi (Gardenia Fruit), Fu Ling (Poria), Sha Ren (Cardamom), Hou Pu (Magnolia Bark), San Ling (Sparganium Rhizome), Chuan Shan Jia (Rhinoceros Horn), Hong Hua (Safflower), Chen (Acorus), Tie Dan Fen (Iron Gall Powder), Feng Jiao (Propolis), and Honeycomb Wax in combination for treatment. The synergistic use of these Chinese herbs can thoroughly eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, cleanse turbid Qi from the gastrointestinal tract, rapidly repair gastric mucosa, enhance the gastric mucosal barrier, and restore the function of the spleen and stomach.
