Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it came back. Could you please tell me about the TCM treatment for chronic gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis requires slow nourishment with traditional Chinese medicine. The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating chronic gastritis is stronger than that of Western medicine. When treating chronic gastritis with traditional Chinese medicine, it mainly focuses on two aspects: eliminating pathogenic factors and reinforcing the body's healthy Qi. In eliminating pathogenic factors, different medications are used to target cold, heat, and dampness. Reinforcing the body's healthy Qi primarily involves replenishing Qi. Additionally, there are traditional Chinese medicine formulations for treating chronic gastritis, such as Weifuchun capsules or Puyuan Hegu capsules.
