Patient's question:
Excess stomach acid, superficial gastritis causing indigestion, can one eat Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian?Doctor's answer:
Acute gastritis can also be considered for acupuncture therapy in traditional Chinese medicine. In clinical diagnosis, points such as Neiguan, Zhongwan, Zusanli, and Yanglingquan are often used. For severe fullness, add needling to Xizhong and Zhangmen; for depression, add needling to Qimen and Taichong; for severe upper abdominal pain, add needling to Zusanli and Liangqiu; for food stagnation, add needling to Xiaowan, Weishu, and Pishu. Moxibustion can also be used, employing points such as Zhongwan, Zusanli, Weishu, and Pishu, with moxa stick or ginger-separated moxibustion applied once daily or every other day. Of course, you can also take traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Weikang Capsules or Weikangling Capsules. Gastric acid-related conditions are not easily resolved. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in overcoming gastric acid and believe that recovery is certain.
