Which traditional Chinese medicines are good for chronic gastritis?

In daily life, when it comes to treating chronic diseases, patients will almost always choose Chinese medicine, because the premise of most Chinese medicine treatments is to regulate the body first and then treat the disease. Although Chinese medicine tastes bitter, it has stronger efficacy and fewer side effects. Especially for diseases like chronic gastritis, which are very prone to recurring, Chinese medicine treatment is the best method. So, which Chinese medicines are good for chronic gastritis?

Traditional Chinese medicine still has certain advantages for chronic gastritis. However, it is recommended to combine Chinese and Western medicine for treatment.

1. In terms of Western medicine, if the symptoms of chronic gastritis are not severe, medication is not used very actively. However, if the symptoms are severe and accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, then regular treatment with bactericidal, acid-suppressing, and stomach-protecting drugs is necessary, and the course of treatment is generally about one month.

2. As for traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment is mainly through regulating the spleen and stomach, soothing the liver, regulating qi and harmonizing the stomach. Improve the body's positive energy, control symptoms and treat diseases. Generally, if the medication is effective, the symptoms can be completely controlled in about 7-14 days. Of course, if the patient has severe dampness and heat in the body, it will take longer.

3. The treatment of disease is a comprehensive intervention process. It does not mean that you will get better just by taking medicine. It is recommended that you pay attention to eating and sleeping on time, avoid overeating, and pay attention to relieving stress and keeping a happy mood.

4. For stomach problems, 30% treatment and 70% maintenance are required. It is recommended to quit smoking and drinking, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and drink more porridge.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic gastritis should be treated clinically based on the patient's actual condition. If the patient with chronic gastritis has symptoms such as abdominal distension and discomfort, loss of appetite, vomiting of acid water, dull pain, loose stools, etc., it is advisable to replenish the middle and benefit the Qi, strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach. The medicinal ingredients include 30 grams of roasted Astragalus, 15 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 12 grams each of Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, yam, lentil, cuttlebone, and calcined Corrugated Iron Seed, 10 grams each of dried tangerine peel, galangal, Cyperus rotundus, Evodia rutaecarpa, and roasted licorice. Take one dose daily, decocted in water.

Nowadays, the conditioning effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating chronic gastritis is better than that of western medicine. Western medicine is too dependent and puts great pressure on the kidneys. Chronic gastritis patients with old stomach problems can drink tea for conditioning. You can make your own clove leaf and amomum tea at home. It can be soaked in water with cloves, amomum, bergamot, licorice and malt to inhibit Helicobacter pylori, which is of great significance for chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers.
