Can black tea cure stomach problems?

Black tea is a relatively important type of tea, and many people have the habit of drinking black tea. Drinking black tea also has certain health benefits. For example, if you drink black tea in the correct way, it can effectively relieve diseases such as stomach problems. This is mainly because black tea is fermented and contains fewer tea polyphenols, which have a certain protective effect on the gastric mucosa, so patients with stomach problems can drink black tea with confidence.

1. Can black tea cure stomach problems?

Black tea can cure stomach problems.

Black tea is made through fermentation and baking. Tea polyphenols undergo enzymatic oxidation reaction under the action of oxidase, and their content is reduced, and the irritation to the stomach is reduced accordingly. In addition, the oxidation products of these tea polyphenols can also promote human digestion. Therefore, black tea not only does not hurt the stomach, but can nourish the stomach. Regularly drinking black tea with sugar or milk can protect the gastric mucosa and is also effective in treating ulcers.

2. How to treat gastric disease

Treatment strategy: Avoid factors that induce the disease, control symptoms with medication, regulate diet, and maintain a positive mood.

General treatment: 1. Eliminate the cause, rest in bed, and stop all foods and medications that irritate the stomach. If appropriate, short-term fasting should be implemented, and then an easily digestible, light, low-residue liquid diet should be given to help the stomach rest and the injury heal. 2. Encourage drinking water. Since vomiting and diarrhea cause excessive water loss, patients should drink more water as much as possible to replenish the lost water. It is better to use sugar and salt water (made by adding a small amount of sugar and salt to boiled water). Do not drink beverages high in sugar to avoid excessive acid production and aggravate abdominal pain. Patients who vomit frequently can drink a small amount of water (about 50 ml) after each vomiting, and drink it multiple times to avoid vomiting.

Drug treatment: 1. Analgesia: Belladonna tablets, atropine, 654-2 (scopolamine) and other drugs can be used. You can also apply local hot compress to the abdomen to relieve pain (not necessary for those with gastric bleeding). 2. Patients with diarrhea and fever can appropriately use antibacterial drugs such as berberine and norfloxacin. It is generally not used by patients with mild conditions to avoid further irritation to the stomach. 3. If the vomiting and diarrhea are severe and the dehydration is obvious, the patient should be sent to the hospital for intravenous infusion treatment in time, and generally recover within 1 to 2 days.

Prognosis: Satisfactory results can be achieved through reasonable drug treatment and dietary adjustment.

2. How to take care of stomach problems

Daily care:

1. Drink in moderation, avoid overeating, and use with caution or not use drugs that can easily damage the gastric mucosa. Acute simple gastritis must be treated promptly and recurrence must be prevented after recovery to prevent it from turning into chronic gastritis and becoming unrecoverable. 2. Traditional exercise. The "Single Lift to Regulate the Spleen and Stomach" in Ba Duan Jin, the "Bear Exercise" in Wu Qin Xi, and the Beggar's Exercise can be practiced more often in daily life, which will have a certain effect on strengthening the spleen and stomach functions. 3. Keep a happy mood.

Diet conditioning:

You can eat some easily digestible and nutritious food, preferably pasta and soft rice. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks (soda), spicy and sour foods, and other irritating foods.
