Traditional Chinese medicine classifies and treats gastritis based on its clinical symptoms, with good results. Schisandra chinensis has the effects of astringing, invigorating Qi and promoting the production of body fluids, and has a good therapeutic effect on patients with gastritis of the stomach yin deficiency type. This type of gastritis is more common in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, or other types of gastritis that have been ill and treated for a long time and have damaged the yin. Symptoms include prolonged stomach pain, slight burning pain or noisy discomfort in the stomach, dry mouth and poor appetite or fullness after eating, dry and hard stools, red tongue with little fluid, and thin white tongue coating. However, it is not suitable for patients with gastritis of liver and stomach qi stagnation type, spleen deficiency and stomach heat type, and spleen and stomach weakness type.
