Patient's question:
I have had gastritis for about 10 years. I have been thoroughly examined several times, and it is diagnosed as superficial gastritis. I have been taking medication, but it hasn't been effective. Now, my bad breath is very severe. Even when I wash my face, the smell remains strong. What medicine can instantly cure my bad breath? What should I do about my gastritis that has been going on for about 10 years?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis falls under the category of long-term stomach conditions. Your situation is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to the inability of clear qi to ascend and the failure of turbid qi to rise, resulting in symptoms such as bad breath. 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, gardenia, poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin shell, bupleurum, wheat sprout, upper horn, lower horn, safflower, aquilaria, iron gall powder, propolis, and honeycomb wax in combination for treatment. This can achieve a complete cure.The synergistic use of these traditional Chinese herbs can thoroughly eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, cleanse turbid qi from the intestines and stomach, rapidly repair gastric mucosa, enhance the protective barrier of the stomach lining, and rebalance the spleen and stomach functions. This effectively eliminates the root cause of the illness, thereby achieving a complete cure.
