Patient's question:
I have had an endoscopy and the detailed examination said I have superficial gastritis, which has been going on for over a year now. There is always gas in my stomach, and it feels like a burning sensation, which is often unbearable. Recently, I have also been experiencing constipation. Besides abdominal pain, what should I do about the superficial gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis falls under the category of long-standing stomach conditions. Your symptoms, such as abdominal pain and heartburn, are caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach. Generally, conventional medications struggle to provide a complete cure. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. It is recommended that you use traditional Chinese herbs like black alum, black jujube, walnut kernels, gardeniae, poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin shell, bupleurum, wheat sprout, upper scapula, lower scapula, safflower, aquilaria, iron gall powder, propolis, and beeswax in combination for treatment. This can lead to a complete cure.The synergistic use of these traditional Chinese herbs can thoroughly eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, cleanse the stomach and intestines of turbid qi, rapidly repair the gastric mucosa, enhance the protective barrier of the stomach lining, and rebalance the spleen and stomach functions. This eliminates the root cause of the illness, ultimately achieving a complete cure.
