Is it good to see a Chinese doctor for stomach problems?

In today's society, people's pace of life is very fast. It is very common to skip breakfast, overeat at dinner, smoke and drink excessively, etc. Because of this situation, stomach problems have become a common disease in the human body. When stomach problems occur, the impact on the human body is very great and requires timely treatment. So is it good to see a Chinese medicine doctor for stomach problems? Let me introduce it to you below.

Seeing a Chinese doctor for stomach problems is a very good choice. Stomach problems are caused by liver and stomach heat stagnation. Stagnation of liver qi turns into heat over time, and the heat evil invades the stomach, resulting in burning pain in the stomach. The liver and gallbladder are mutually dependent, and liver heat and gallbladder fire are dominant, causing dry mouth and vomiting of yellow water. The treatment is to soothe the liver, relieve heat and harmonize the stomach, with Huagan Decoction as the main prescription, and the medicinal ingredients used are tangerine peel, green peel, peony root, moutan bark, gardenia, coptis root, evodia rutaecarpa, citron, and bergamot.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are six major pathogenesis of stomach problems: Qi: refers to the imbalance of Qi; Blood: refers to blood stasis; Phlegm: refers to dampness turning into phlegm; Dampness: refers to dampness, people feel heavy and have no strength, and many times phlegm and dampness cannot be distinguished. Generally, for some obese people, a kind of false obesity is called phlegm-dampness constitution, especially middle-aged and elderly women, who often suffer from false obesity; Food: refers to food problems; Fire: refers to stomach fire.

In daily life, we might as well prepare some Chinese medicine. Different stomach diseases have corresponding treatment methods. Here are some commonly used and effective Chinese medicine prescriptions:

1. Sihuang Powder

Sihuang Powder is composed of: rhubarb, astragalus, coptis chinensis and jaundice. These four herbs are ground into powder and used for navel plastering. This is called plastering therapy. For some symptoms related to heat, cold medicine should be used. For pain caused by stomach heat, some bitter and yellow medicine should be used. This is somewhat similar to the navel patch commonly used by children.

2. Honey Vinegar Treatment

If the disease is caused by cold stagnation and qi stagnation, and there are symptoms of cold, you can prepare a western medicine that is specifically for pain relief. But you can use a more convenient honey vinegar rub treatment at home, which is to apply water, honey and vinegar to relieve symptoms. The treatment principles are effective, economical, simple and safe, and you can learn them quickly.

3. Hot medicine ironing therapy

Choose four types of ingredients: Sichuan pepper, cloves, Evodia rutaecarpa, and Asarum. These four medicines are all hot medicines and are divided in equal quantities. When stomach pain occurs, stick it on your navel, or heat up coarse salt and put it in a cloth bag. Apply it near the Shenque point on the navel. It works very well.

4. Rub fresh ginger

If the symptoms are caused by stomach cold, you can also use pushing and rubbing therapy. Mash 30g of fresh ginger into juice, grind 15g of Cyperus rotundus into powder, then put into boiling water to keep warm. When pain occurs, dip a towel or gauze in it and rub the painful area to treat some cold symptoms, especially deficiency-cold. Another type is galangal or dried ginger, which can be applied near the Shenque point in the navel, the Qihai point, and the Yongquan point. It can be used to treat symptoms such as insomnia, especially stomach cold, vomiting, and pain.

5. Tangerine peel regulates qi

If you have bloating in your stomach and the stomach gas does not subside, the cause is usually liver depression. Generally, you can use the Chinese medicine "Zhi Fu Pi" and boil it in water to drink. If your stomach is blocked and painful, you can add tangerine peel, which is good for regulating qi. Another kind of Su stem can also be added to the water for drinking. For stomach bloating and pain, you can use Citrus aurantium and Magnolia officinalis, both of which can stop bloating. You can also use Amomum villosum to treat bloating, as it has the effect of relieving reflux.
